St Joseph Rouge Pierre Gonon 2016 is a full-bodied Syrah from the St Joseph appellation of the northern Rhône Valley. This wine reveals an intricate interplay of dark fruits, blackcurrant and subtle herbal notes on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm structure underpinned by well-integrated tannins and a refreshing acidity. The vineyard benefits from granite soils which contribute to its mineral character. A fourth-generation winemaker, Pierre Gonon is renowned for his organic viticulture and low-intervention approach.

Vinous
Inky ruby. Pungent black raspberry and cherry cola aromas are complemented by suggestions of potpourri, olive and allspice. Silky and expansive on the palate, offering spice-tinged red and blue fruit flavors that show excellent delineation and back-end thrust. Lively and seamless in texture, finishing with minerally drive and harmonious, slow-building tannins. The interplay of power and finesse here is quite impressive.Josh Raynolds1st April 2018
