There are two other St Joseph releases. Coming all from a single vineyard in the northern part of the appellation (this site was originally planted in 1981 and has sandy, granite soils), the 2015 Saint Joseph Clos de Cuminaille (100 cases) is 100% Syrah that will see 16-18 months in 30% new barrels. This inky-colored St Joseph offers terrific notes of chocolaty dark fruits, roasted herbs, licorice and espresso roast, medium to full-bodied richness and ripe, polished tannin. It’s a beautiful wine.
