2021 Saint Cosme Saint-Joseph
2021 Saint Cosme Saint-Joseph
Louis Barroul is justifiably famous for his southern Rhone wines, but he has long said his passion is northern Rhone Syrah. That passion is palpable; his foray into the steep slopes well worth the price tag. This is a prolific winemakers and a prolific region—benchmark Syrah.
In 2021, Saint Cosme shows off what people love obsess over when it comes to Syrah. (And people really do obsess over Syrah.) Dark fruit, pepper, smoke, purple flowers, and stony minerals. This is ah-ha wine for the uninitiated. This is special occasion wine.
