Decanter, September 2022

Inky blackberries on the nose. Very smooth, with cooling fruit, and just a nip of soft tannin. Good sense of purity, very neat, with a fresh finish. From the far north of the St-Joseph appellation, the vines are 25 years...

The 2020 Andre Perret St Joseph is a Syrah varietal hailing from the revered Northern Rhone region in France, specifically the St Joseph appellation. This red wine is produced by Andre Perret and has garnered notable attention from wine critics.

Vinous awarded this wine a score of 91, describing it as "elegant and polished." Reviewer Nicolas Greinacher highlighted the wine's aromatic profile, which includes "violets, black cherry, raspberry and discrete cedar." According to Greinacher, the wine is "crafted from fully destemmed grapes" and boasts "ripe tannins" that give structure to its medium-bodied frame. The wine maintains its elegance and concentration through to a "refined finale."

Jeb Dunnuck provided an even more enthusiastic review, scoring the 2020 Saint Joseph 92 points. Dunnuck's tasting notes bring out the wine's visual appeal and complex bouquet: "Deep purple-hued, with a great nose of framboise, darker cherries, spice, woodsmoke, and lite gunpowder." He also noted the wine's medium body, ripe texture, and classic Northern Rhône characteristics, such as "game and bacon fat notes" that become more pronounced with time in the glass. Dunnuck suggests enjoying this wine over the next decade.

Both reviewers agree on the high quality and excellent potential of the 2020 Andre Perret St Joseph. The wine's ability to balance ripe, concentrated flavors with an elegant profile is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of Andre Perret. Whether you are drawn to the floral and fruity notes highlighted by Vinous or the deeper, spicier elements described by Jeb Dunnuck, this Syrah offers a sophisticated experience typical of its esteemed Northern Rhone origins.
