Saint Cosme St-Joseph 2021 750ml

Louis Barruol describes the microclimate of the vineyard Malleval as “very cold” which allows the grapes to retain acidity and showcase the floral aromas of the local Sérine variety. Aromas and flavors of blackberries and wild strawberries are accented by notes of peppercorns, tobacco, peonies, and violets. Syrah, with its deep flavors and firm tannins, is a natural match for grilled or smoked meat and dishes featuring herbs, roasted mushrooms, and onions. Seared venison or beef with black pepper and thyme or a Moroccan tagine of pigeon or chicken are complimented by the spicy characteristic of Syrah.

Coming all from the northern portions of the appellation, the 2021 Saint Joseph is medium-bodied and elegant, with a beautiful floral character as well as some classic bacon fat, violet, and pepper notes. It’s another elegant, seamless, juicy 2021 that offers ample pleasure and is geared for enjoying over the coming 7-8 years.
