2014 Saint Joseph, Domaine du Tunnel

"One of the stars of the vintage, the 2014 Saint Joseph comes all from granite terroirs located around the villages of Tournon, Mauves and Glun, and was aged all in three-year-old barrels. It sports a deep ruby/purple-tinged color as well as fabulous notes of cassis, smoked meats, licorice and toasted spice. Rich, concentrated, seamless and gorgeously polished, with building tannin, it's as sexy as they get in this vintage and will keep for a decade. Drink 2016-2026."  Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate, Dec 2016
