Domaine du Tunnel : Saint-Joseph 2022

A juicy, precise and well-driven red with notes of dark cherries, blueberries, wild herbs and mixed spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Juicy at the center with plenty of crushed cherry character and a vivid core of peppercorns bringing good energy and verve. Focused finish with a spicy kick. Drink or hold.

Made from 100% Syrah and aged 14 months in third- and fourth-fill barrels, the 2022 Saint Joseph shows pure black raspberries, cassis, flowers, spice, and crushed stone aromatics. While not the most complex Saint Joseph out there, the balance is flawless, with fine tannins and outstanding length. A gorgeous wine, it will drink nicely for a decade. Drink 2025-2035.
