Located near Mauves and Tournon, this is another Jaboulet property that's never been better. The 2018 Saint Joseph Domaine de la Croix des Vignes features scents of ripe plums and crushed stone. It's full-bodied and softly dusty, with almost charcoal-like notes that finish rich and sumptuous. Yes, it sounds fanciful and possibly contradictory, but that's the closest I can come to describing it. 2021-2035
Lots of ripe black fruits, peppery herbs, and damp earth nuances emerge from the 2018 Saint Joseph La Croix Des Vignes. A full-bodied, powerful effort, it has a great mid-palate, plenty of ripe tannins, and the fruit to shine in its youth, yet the balance to evolve for over a decade.
