"Farge's use of stems (60% in this cuvée) and older oak allows the Syrah's vigor to shine through. The Terroir de Granit Saint Joseph 2016 presents notes of violet, pepper, and exotic herbs, all layered over expressive raspberry notes. It is full-bodied, creamy, and lush without going overboard—a generous and pleasant wine that reveals length and elegance on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker) A St Joseph of incredible purity!
