Domaine Faury Saint Joseph Rouge 2017

This dark beauty offers a liveliness and freshness that one does not often find in wines from the northern Rhône. If you like your Saint Joseph smooth as silk and imbued with violets, this one's for you.

Brilliant ruby. Fresh blackberry and cherry aromas are complemented by hints of cracked pepper, olive and woodsmoke. Taut and juicy on entry, then fleshier and deeper in the middle, offering pliant dark fruit flavors and a hint of spicecake. Shows impressive energy on the sappy finish, which features rounded tannins and an echo of peppery spices.
