Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aîné Saint-Joseph La Croix des Vignes 2019 is a top-flight, beautifully concentrated red wine crafted from 100% Syrah grown on the steep, south-facing granitic slopes above Mauves and Tournon-sur-Rhône. Cultivated using certified organic and biodynamic practices, this exceptional cuvée possesses an intense purple-ruby color. The complex aromatic bouquet opens with notes of ripe blueberries, fresh cassis, and graham cracker, flawlessly intertwined with savory undertones of mocha, dried wild herbs, and a smoky, flinty minerality. On the palate, it is full-bodied, rich, and atypically concentrated for the appellation, offering a plush core of dark fruit balanced beautifully by fine-grained, chewy tannins and a zesty natural acidity that carries through to a long, velvety, and deeply rewarding finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with herb-crusted grilled lamb chops, pan-seared duck breast with cherry reduction, marinated beef tenderloin, and wild mushroom risotto.
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A bit of a sleeper in the Jaboulet portfolio, the 2019 Saint Joseph Domaine de la Croix des Vignes is a top-flight effort, boasting hints of graham crackers, blueberries, cassis and mocha. It's full-bodied, rich and atypically concentrated, with a long, velvety finish that delivers immense pleasure.
91 Points - James Suckling
A big, rich red with lots of dried fruit, as well as chocolate and walnut undertones. Some dried fruit, such as figs. It’s full with chewy yet polished tannins. Drink or hold.
