After some stellar whites, I admit being disappointed by Gripa's 2015 Saint Joseph. It's still a very good wine, but coming from granite slopes around Mauve and Tournon, it shows more winemaking than terroir. Vanilla and mocha notes speak of the oak, while stemmy-green notes speak to a chunk of whole-bunch fermentation. Those make it hard to find the tart, tangy red fruit in this medium to full-bodied wine.
