A fresh, lively and medium-bodied 2011 Saint Joseph Terres d’Encre. Comprised of 100% Syrah and aged all in neutral oak, it offers ample dark fruit, black pepper, mint and hints of gaminess on the nose, good texture and juicy acidity. Enjoy it over the coming 3-5 years. While easily producing one of the top lineups of Condrieu, this estate is increasingly focusing on high quality reds as well.
