More linear and streamlined than the domaine's Crozes, Pradelle's 2019 Saint Joseph is taut and mineral, with a crushed-stone sense of reserve, bright blueberry and cherry fruit and fine-grained, silky tannins. Hints of licorice and black olive add dimension on the finish. Give this wine another year or two to relax, then drink it over the following decade.

Already bottled, the 2015 Saint Joseph Domaine Pradelle was aged in a mix of foudre and older barrels; there are roughly 2,000 cases produced. It sports a deep ruby/purple color as well as beautiful notes of Christmas spice, menthol, black raspberries and cassis. Rich, medium to full-bodied, layered, fresh and lively, with fine tannin and solid balance, it's a beautiful St Joseph that needs short-term cellaring and will shine for a decade. It also happens to be a smoking value.
