Saint Cosme Gigondas 2021WS94JD92JS94VM92$45.98Availability:In Stock92-94 Points! Deep magenta. High-toned cherry and blackberry aromas show very good clarity with black pepper and smoky mineral accents. Shows firm tension and a spicy cut to its gentle sweet red and dark berry, bitter chocolate and succulent herb flavors. Youthfully gripping tannins lend framework to a long, smoky finish that echoes the spice and floral notes. This is textbook Gigondas, raised in a combination of one-third concrete tanks and two-thirds large oak barrels, 20% of those new. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media
94 Points! This rich and impeccably balanced Gigondas has everything we look for in the wines of this appellation. What a wide spectrum of aromas with everything from raspberry to candied orange, plus a slew of delicate spicy notes and fresh Mediterranean herbs. I love the interplay of richness, fine tannins and lively acidity on the generous, but not expansive palate. Very long, refined finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. - Stuart Pigott, James Suckling

Lionel Faury Saint Joseph Blanc 2020WA91-94$34.98Availability:In Stock91-94 Points! In tank awaiting bottling at the time of my visit, Faury's 2020 Saint Joseph Blanc is the usual 60-40 blend of Marsanne and Roussanne. Pear, melon and citrus notes abound on the nose, while the palate is medium to full-bodied, reasonably rich but balanced, with a lingering hint of citrus pith on the long finish. It looks to be a bit longer-lived than the broader, fatter 2019 version. - Joe Czerwinski, robertparker.com

Domaine Des Pierres Seches Saint Joseph Cuvee Aubert 2018$49.98Availability:In StockA complex, concentrated single-vineyard selection of very old vine Syrah from the most prized plot in the village of Saint-Jean de Muzols, one of the original founding villages of the Saint-Joseph appellation. Bright red and juicy black fruit, lots of peppery spice, incense and licorice and soy … and a finish that goes on for what seems forever. A great wine for the cellar, if you can resist it today.

Bouissiere Gigondas La Font de Tonin 2019JD94+$56.98Availability:In Stock94+ Points! A smaller production cuvée, the 2019 Gigondas La Font De Tonin is more modern styled (it sees a touch of new oak) but is still classic Gigondas in its dark, peppery, mineral-laced fruit as well as concentrated, medium to full-bodied, structured style on the palate. A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Mourvèdre, it was 30% destemmed and was aged in a mix of barrels (40% new) and larger, older oak. I love its purity, and it should integrate its élevage nicely with 3-4 years of bottle age and be very long-lived. It’s a serious, age-worthy Gigondas. - Jeb Dunnuck

Coursodon Saint Joseph Le Paradis Saint Pierre 2019JD96+WA94+$69.98Availability:In Stock96+ Points! The flagship 2019 Saint Joseph Le Paradis Saint Pierre ranks with the crème de la crème of the vintage, yet like most of the top wines, it's going to need bottle age. Deep ruby/purple-hued, it offers a gorgeous nose of black raspberries, cassis, cured meats, crushed stone, pepper, and dried flowers. Full-bodied, concentrated, and structured, it has the ripe, up-front, spicy fruit that's the hallmark of the vintage as well as the firmer, building tannins that will require at least 4-5 years of bottle age. This is stunning, though, and well worth seeking out. - Jeb Dunnuck

Lots of blueberries, cassis, crushed violets, and damp rock notes all flow to a medium to full-bodied, supple, elegant Syrah that has terrific balance and building tannins. It shines for its purity of fruit as well as its balance, and will keep for 10-12 years. - Jeb DunnuckLearn MoreHURRY, ONLY 3 LEFT! -
Pierre Gonon Saint Joseph Blanc Les Oliviers 2018JD94VM94$89.98Availability:In Stock94 Points! Always one of the leading whites in the appellation, the 2017 Les Oliviers Blanc from the Gonon Brothers comes from a single terroir located just outside of Mauves, in the southern part of the appellation. Sporting a vivid gold hue as well as killer notes of quince, buttered citrus, honeyed minerality, and white flowers, it’s full-bodied, has bright acidity, and is perfectly balanced. I’d be happy to put this stunning white in a blind lineup of top Hermitage Blancs. Drink it any time over the coming decade or more. - Jeb Dunnuck Learn MoreHURRY, ONLY 1 LEFT!
