Terroir de Granit St. Joseph Syrah 2018

9.3

Animale, iron, iodine, very mineral as well, great redfruits, wonderful acidity, very long, lingering finish, frankly a great St. Joseph, first time I’ve had this wine, but I think @Tom Casagrande nailed it in his review of the 2018!! — 2 days ago

@Doug Powers - I didn’t see the “Stolpman Grenache kinda sucked” review yet. (I’m surprised it sucked!)

@Tom Casagrande, weird thing yesterday when using Delectable — my posting of this wine showed up immediately (maybe because I tagged you??), and the Stoplman still doesn’t show up in my own feed?? I will note that the 2023 Stolpman was just like those 2 Tablas Creek reds (Grenache and Counoise) that I also panned because they were way too light yet were 14% ABV.

@Doug Powers - Seems like all the Kool Kids are trying to do Kool-Aid Grenache these days. An overreaction to CDPs now routinely hitting 16% and hitting the palate like liquid lead?

Great wine. Definitely worth trying again but I felt this was a bit one dimensional. A lot of pear, white fruit and slight apple, brioche and with slight acidity and but didn't change much after. I tried in 2025 so its 17 years old so maybe its past its peak or its waning but its my first wine of this age so maybe i need to try more. Either way, it's a delicious wine — 6 days ago
