The greatest southern Saint-Josephs recall the wines of Hermitage, and the greatest northern examples resemble Côte-Rôtie. André’s are certainly among the finest, and always have great density despite their seeming weightlessness and elegant bouquet.

This juicy, blueberry-and-leather-infused Syrah with a long finish is ready to drink tonight.

Majestically dark and brooding Cornas, layered with aromas of herbs and mint. Extremely limited availability

Elegant blue and black fruit abound, but here it mingles with a hint of sanguinity and some dusty tannin.

Hailing from a single vineyard high up on the hill above Saint-Désirat, at the middle point of the Saint-Joseph appellation, this cuvée dials up the fragrance and elegance of Monier-Pérreol’s Saint-Joseph.

There is not a single sharp edge, only tender, succulent, ripe peachy fruit, plus a touch of honeysuckle to round things out.

With lovely notes of currant and violets, this bright, crunchy wine is irresistible in its youth. Serve cool with just about anything.

Expansive savory aromas, meaty, broad, velvety tannins, grandness, ripeness and freshness, all at once. Only in Hermitage!

From high-altitude slopes above the Rhône river, this Syrah exhibits remarkable purity and grace.

This blanc is befittingly made from only Marsanne, with subtle, but not shy notes of stony peach, orange blossom, and pear.
