From the northern parts of the appellation, the 2020 Saint Joseph Le Passage has a beautiful, mineral-laced style, and it's classic Saint Joseph with its darker, peppery, earthy aromas and flavors. It's nicely concentrated and medium to full-bodied, with wonderful tannins and a great finish. It's a brilliant Saint Joseph that I'd put up with the best in appellation.
