Jeb Dunnuck, 92 Points 
“Blackberries, plums, ground pepper, iron, and underbrush all emerge from the 2022 Saint Joseph Les Salamandres. Destemmed and aged one year in 40% barrels and 60% tank, it’s medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, and structured, with beautiful balance and ripe, building tannins. Drink 2025-2037.” 
Winemaker Notes: 
“Its dense ruby hue flecked with crimson and purple tints is delightful. Then comes the lush, candied, spicy and fruity nose with notes of blackberries, cassis, Morello cherries and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is meaty and balanced with structuring tannins of ripe grapes. This Saint-Joseph Les Salamandres will be at its best after 4-5 years cellar ageing. Ideally served at 16°C. Try it paired with game (roast venison, wild boar stew) or roast turkey. You can also enjoy it with fine charcuterie (Bayonne ham, Bellota or San Daniele).”
