"The Saint Joseph Passion de Terrasses is a beautiful Syrah that offers typical Northern Rhône aromas of violets, bay leaves, black raspberries, and a distinct note of peach pit that likely comes from co-fermented Viognier rather than pure Syrah. Made from century-old vines planted on granite soils and aged for 12 months, 20% in new barrels, this medium-bodied, supple, and beautifully textured Saint Joseph can be enjoyed today or in 7–8 years.” (Wine Advocate 2015 – Robert Parker)
