Saint-Joseph Les Granilites

A solid, well-built and vivid syrah, showcasing aromas of dark cherries, plums, ashes and warm spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Bright and pulpy, this has a core of juicy purple fruit and some spicy chocolate toward the chalky, precise and persistent finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

If you want to know what Northern Rhone syrah is all about, here is the best introduction to the dark and smoky personality of these wines and their fantastic wild blackberry fruit. Exciting mineral tannins and acidity on the tightly focused, stony palate. So energetic and cool for the hot and dry vintage. Very long, pure finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Salty and smoky, with pleasing chewiness to its notes of red fruit, flanked with cured tobacco leaf, toasted anise and spice details. A bacon lard element brings meatiness, and a tug of tar plays out on the sultry finish, wafting with sandalwood smoke. Drink now through 2032. 10 cases imported.
