About the Chateau de Saint Cosme Saint-Joseph 2020 750ml
Louis Barruol describes the microclimate of the vineyard Malleval as “very cold” which allows the grapes to retain acidity and showcase the floral aromas of the local Sérine variety. Aromas and flavors of blackberries and wild strawberries are accented by notes of peppercorns, tobacco, peonies, and violets.
Syrah, with its deep flavors and firm tannins, is a natural match for grilled or smoked meat and dishes featuring herbs, roasted mushrooms, and onions. Seared venison or beef with black pepper and thyme or a Moroccan tagine of pigeon or chicken are complimented by the spicy characteristic of Syrah.
A step up, the 2020 Saint Joseph comes all from the northern part of the Northern Rhône, and it’s medium-bodied and elegant, with good ripeness in its darker berry, violet, flower, and wet granite-like nuances. It’s another balanced, seamless red from Louis, and the 2019 vintage is a beauty for the Northern Rhône.
Barrel Sample: 91-93
This has real substance and energy, with boysenberry and plum puree flavors that are mouthfilling and lush, lined with singed cedar and earth. Finishes very dry, thanks to chalky fine tannins and a cleansing mineral edge.
Dark violet color. Potent, mineral-accented black and blue fruit, floral and smoked meat qualities on the nose, along with olive, licorice and tobacco notes that build in the glass. Subtly chewy and energetic on the palate, offering intense blackberry, boysenberry, bitter chocolate and black pepper flavors that become sweeter with air. The floral note repeats strongly on the penetrating finish, which is framed by smooth, harmonious tannins.
Barrel Sample: 89-91
