($68) Vivid ruby. Powerful scents of blackcurrant, olive, anise and smoky minerals. Fleshy red and dark berry and cherry skin qualities in the mouth, with supple tannins adding shape and grip. Gains sweetness and depth with air, finishing with impressive clarity and length.

Juicy, and still a bit compact, with a core of blackberry and currant fruit held back by mocha, loam and dark licorice notes. The rich, toasty finish has nice buried minerality. Should stretch out nicely with moderate cellaring. 80 cases made.

'06 St. Joseph Andre Pealat has a beautiful bouquet and silky smooth body - an elegant Rhone that should not be missed! The color of the core is deep ruby turning purple as is typical with Syrah. The bouquet is harmonious blend of aromas including stones, smoke, violets, blackberry and currant. The flavors on the palate are delicious. I love the combination of "moist soil," dark chocolate, anise, cherry, and fleshy black plum that gives it a subtle underlying sweetness. This wine shows both intense minerality and high acidity. The silky smooth tannins and long finish seal the deal. Well done!
