Blachon Saint-Joseph 1996

[zenda2]

Got my first Saint-Joseph on sale yesterday for $10, fixing to pop this bad boy for dinner tonight. I went looking for it after reading that Blachon has some good vineyards in Saint-Joseph, a mostly ignored appellation in the Northern Rhone. Knowing that the northern Rhone only allows syrah for red wines and since I love syrah and since $10 is certainly in my price range...let's say it's fun being a wine detective. Here's hoping my homework pays off, tasting notes later!
