Classically structured

mouth-filling texture

As I wrote last year

accentuate this ultraconcentrated Petite Sirah

followed by a wallop of broad mineral punch with exotic overtones of grapefruit and limestone on the palate that echoes and echoes

Domaine de Gouye Saint-Joseph Vieilles Vignes, Rhone, France 2021 Vite Colte Classically structuredWinemaker Philippe Desbos selects fruit from his oldest Syrah vines, some as old as 100 years, for this special cuve. The estate's same non interventionist approach applies: fruit crushed gently by foot, very little added sulfur, aged in neutral barrels. Aromas of summer bramble fruit, light white pepper, licorice, warm earth. Full bodied yet refined, suave tannins; red and black raspberries, boysenberry, baking spices.
