Wines from Saint-Joseph
Domaine Vallet 2005 White (Saint-Joseph)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
A medium-bodied, slightly innocuous white wine. There’s some slightly gluey Marsanne notes, but also freshness. The blend is 60% Marsanne, 40% Roussanne.

Maison Bouachon 2003 Roguebrussane Syrah (Saint-Joseph)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Has some attractive anise and cinnamon aromas, but turns tannic and drying on the finish, with no prospects for improvement over time. Drink now.

Neutral to the point of blandness. It’s wet and fresh, but uninteresting.

Overoaked, with cedary notes obscuring the lean cherry fruit. Astringently woody on the vanilla-laden finish.

Vidal-Fleury 2007 Syrah (Saint-Joseph)
- Online Exclusive
- $29
Fairly deep ruby color with youthful pinkish rim. Slightly funky, earthy aromas prevail with hints of green peppercorn dried herbs and hickory smoke. Slightly lean and herbal on the palate, medium bodied with spicy, meaty flavors. Crisp, taut texture.
