"A great showing, and an under-the- radar vintage (in the north anyway) that has some serious wines, the 2007 Saint Joseph Les Granits is ripe and voluptuously-styled, with black raspberry, charcoal, roasted herbs, graphite and toast giving way to a medium to full-bodied, impressively concentrated Syrah that’s still young and lively."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
