"Sourced from a variety of plots in Saint-Joseph, this unctuous Syrah offers layers of ripe, sun-soaked blueberry and cassis flavors. Joyously fruit forward yet edged by a smoky, stony minerality, it's a plump, immediately enjoyable red with soft, soothing tannins. At its best young, the wine should hold through 2027. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Bright and quaffable, this easy-drinking but elegant Syrah is packed with flavors of raspberry sorbet and red cherry preserves. Lifted by sprays of lavender and lilac perfume, it's a full-bodied but briskly concentrated wine with a lean, herbal edge on the finish. Best now-2025 to enjoy its pure, fruity goodness. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Hints of lilac lend a floral perfume to pert blackberry and plum in this juicy, penetrating red. Made entirely from destemmed fruit and matured only partially in oak, it's a forward, intently fruity Syrah that welcomes youthful drinking but should hold well through 2025. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Black-plum and berry flavors are intensely ripe in this full-bodied Saint-Joseph. It's a concentrated, almost ruddy, wine freshened by tangy blackberry acidity and hints of granite and spice that linger on the finish. Tannins are fine-grained and integrated. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Leuchtendes Rubin mittlerer Intensität. Süsses, würzig unterlegtes Kirsch- und Rote-Beerenbouquet mit staubiger Granitnote und einem Touch von grünem Apfel, insgesamt klar und fein. Auf der Zunge jung: konzentriert und fruchtig, seidig und frisch, mit jugendlicher Säure, noch spürbarem, leicht adstringierendem Tannin und röstigen Holznoten. Sollte daher unbedingt noch zwei Jahre im kühlen Keller reifen."

"A ripe, perfumed, relatively soft wine, which is going to give great pleasure with its juicy fruit, ripe jelly flavors and balancing acidity. You could enjoy this wine within a year, but it should age well over the next five or six."

"Reflecting the house style, this Delas white is spare and minerally, a bit austere but crisp and clean. There's a spicy note to this one that elevates it above Delas' Crozes or basic Côtes-du-Rhône."
