89/100
Robert Parker
"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 certainly comes from co-fermented Viognier, more than pure Syrah. Made from century-old vines planted on granite soils and aged 12 months at 20% in new barrels, this medium-bodied, supple and very nicely textured Saint Joseph can be enjoyed today as well as in 7-8 years." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)

Domaine rated (2019 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
We often prefer reds to whites, which are often heavy and lack freshness.
