Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Saint-Joseph Syrah 2013

Ryan Mullins

Open and beautiful now showing tons of complexity and fruit without being overripe.

Julia Indik

Floral aromas then smooth blend of flavors of blackberries, dark cherries, pepper and earth tones. Light acidity at the finish.

Michael Mallon

Very good, balanced wine, even if could stand a few more years of aging. Savory notes with hints of fruit of the nose. Palate: well-integrated melange of blackberries, black cherry, white pepper, pine, flint and the meaty quality this region is famous for. Long finish of cocao and gunpowder.

Phil

Solid

Kevin Cahoon

The nose is surprisingly subdued with black raspberry, plum and red cherry fruit. The spice tones lean towards white pepper with touches pine and asphalt. Lovely balance on palate but fruit is a touch muted. All the components are in place but this wine needs a little cellar time

Doug Cranmer

Reserved but with nice strength/body once it opened up a bit after opening. Refined cherry, tart berry with slight minerality one might expect from Rhone
