Vintages 2006

Wine Advocate # 182 - Apr 2009

Score : 90

The 2006 St.-Joseph blanc again demonstrates what a top-flight vintage this is for northern Rhone white wines. Textured and rich, with loads of white peach, quince, and powdered stone characteristics, this full, fresh, rich, gorgeous white can be consumed over the next 3-4 years. Drink: 2009 - 2013. Robert Parker.

A clean, pure style, with lots of stone fruit aromas and flavors backed by hints of almond, honeysuckle and mineral. Has a long, stony finish. Drink now through 2009. 1,300 cases made. James Molesworth.

Yellow-gold. Ripe pear, peach and truffle on the nose, with a smoky mineral undertone. Lush and creamy, with deep orchard fruit and tangerine flavors braced by gentle minerality. Picks up anise and apricot pit qualities on an impressively long, sappy finish. Josh Raynolds.
