TASTING NOTES:
Salty plum and fig notes are fleshy and broad, with pleasantly juicy density and a saline mineral foundation. Smoked bacon adds to the sanguine, meaty density. Mesquite smoke and lavender land the finish, where racy acidity powers through. Drink now through 2032.

Classic granite notes of cassis and darker cherries, graphite, crushed stone, pepper, and violets all emerge from the 2023 Saint Joseph Offerus. Medium-bodied, focused, and beautifully balanced on the palate, with textbook Saint Joseph tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and a crisp, mineral-laced finish, it will evolve nicely over the coming 8-10 years.
