Pierres Seches Saint Joseph Revirand 750ml

Jeb Dunnuck, 96 Points 

"The 2019 Saint Joseph Cuvée Revirand is all Syrah that was not destemmed and saw malolactic fermentation in barrel followed by 18 months in French oak. Just a thrilling Saint Joseph that pretty much stopped me in my tracks, it has ample red and black fruits, notes of leather, woodsmoke, iron, and pepper, full-bodied richness, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. I followed this bottle for multiple days, and it showed more structure and depth with air. It can certainly be drunk today, but it will ideally be given 2-3 years in the cellar, and I’d be shocked if it didn’t evolve gracefully for another decade or more."

"The 2019 Saint Joseph Cuvée Revirand—from 50-year-old vines on a south-facing granite slope—features attractive, complex aromas of menthol, star anise and blackberries, plus a wiry, herbal streak. Made entirely using whole clusters and aged in pièces de Bourgogne, it's full-bodied and dense, with ample concentration, ripe tannins and a long, dusty finish. Give it a couple of years in the cellar and drink it through the end of the decade."
