Note di degustazione
Dark ruby. Aromas of ripe, smoke-tinged red and blue fruits, pungent flowers, allspice and licorice on the nose. Shows very good depth as well as vivacity to its appealingly sweet cherry and blueberry flavors, which tighten up and become spicier with air. A core of juicy acidity adds support and lends energy to a long, spicy finish that echoes the blue fruit note.

The 2018 Saint Joseph Offerus is similarly purple/ruby-hued and has a tighter, more mineral-drive style compared to the Crozes, which is exactly what you would expect between these two appellations. Beautiful blue fruits, violets, flowers, and wet granite-like notes give way to a medium-bodied, vibrant, nicely concentrated Saint Joseph that shines for its balance, purity, and length. It will keep for a decade, although there's no need to delay gratification.
