Coming in almost a full degree lower in alcohol than the 2018 at 14.3%, Darnaud's 2017 Saint Joseph La Dardouille may seem more to some people's taste. It's an excellent wine, with scents of crushed stone accenting blueberries and cassis on the nose. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ripe and velvety, with a long finish that offers hints of baking spices and additional waves of fruit. It should drink well for a decade.
