2011 Saint-Joseph Les Serines rouge Yves Cuilleron RIESLINGBuntsandsteinParker Dunnuck 91 points: A step up on the richness scale, the 2011 Saint Joseph Les Serines is medium bodied, seamless and also finesse oriented, with fine tannin, beautiful purity and a classy, focused finish. Exhibiting impressive berry fruit, earth, and violet styled aromas and flavors, this beauty will drink nicely over the coming 7 8 years. Yves releases two cuvees from Cornas, and I found the quality consistent in 2012, yet preferred the Vires
