The 1997 St.-Joseph Coteau St.-Pierre (100% Roussanne) reveals spicy new oak intermixed with honeyed/rose petal liqueur-like richness, extremely full body, copious quantities of cherry fruit, an unctuous texture, and a long, layered, dry finish. It is a sensational Roussanne from St.-Joseph that needs to be drunk over the next several years.
