all in the ripe

and 6% Merlot really tastes and feels great

but this is a super-impressive wine in every way

Gonon, Saint-Joseph other_regions all in the ripeI continue to love the 2013 St Joseph and it's a classic, elegant beauty that offers lots of minerality, purple fruits, olive, pepper and liquid violets characteristics. Possessing medium bodied richness, ultra fine tannin and a lively, already hard to resist style, drink it anytime over the coming decade.
