The St.-Joseph Le Paradis St.-Pierre is a 3,000 bottle cuvee from 85-year old Syrah vines planted on granite hillsides. The 1999 reveals a pronounced bouquet of liquid minerals, cassis, and flowers with a touch of blackberries. It is ripe and full-bodied, with good tannin, grip, purity, and length. This wine may merit an outstanding score with another 1-3 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2015. The stars in this portfolio are the red wine cuvees, which have improved dramatically over the last several years.
