Saint Joseph Croix Des Vignes 2017

Region: Rhone, France

Grape Variety: Shiraz

Tasting Notes: This is a complex wine. Full bodied with aromas of dark fruit like blackberry and black cherry, spice, licorice and black pepper with savoury notes of tobacco and cedar. It has a structured palate with fine tannins, a distinct minerality from its granite soil and a long, spicy finish with hints of dark plums and black cherries.

Food Pairing: The Paul Jaboulet Saint Joseph Croix des Vignes 2017 pairs well with lamb dishes, stews and roasted poultry, lamb with dried figs and also lamb, beands and tomatoes or roasted quail with chestnuts. Other good pairings are charcuteries, flavourful mushroom dishes and rich or mature cheeses.
