“Farge’s use of grape stems (60% in this cuvée) and older oak allows the Syrah’s vibrancy to shine through. The 2016 Terroir de Granit Saint Joseph features 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 Saint Joseph of incredible purity!
