St. Joseph l'Olivet

Producer Domaine Coursodon Region Northern Rhône, France Encepagement 100% Syrah Elevage 35-50 year old vines high on the slope, 1/3 granite. 25 hectoliters per hectare. Destemmed. 40% older barrels, 40% demi-muits, 20% tank. No fining or filtering. Little to no sulphur. Reviews for 2004 Vintage From the International Wine Cellar (Jan/Feb 2006): "Points: 90-92. Light ruby-red.  Pungently floral aromas of fresh rose, magnolia and dried violet.  Nicely textured wine, with a sweet, juicy tone to the red berry and tangy mineral flavors.  Silky, concentrated and long, with sexy oak spices adding to the impression of sweetness." © International Wine Cellar
