An incredibly well structured wine. An absolute beast. Bigger than some Hermitage I’ve had, even on day 2. Lots of herbaceous notes on this wine. Even with it being so big and structured, there is still very nice acidity. Very well made wine, especially for the price! — 7 years ago
Beautiful wine. Delivers 70-80% of the Hermitage for about a third of the price. Hung meat, rich dark fruit, scorched earth, velvety and long. Delicious. — 7 years ago

40 year old vines and 9 months in oak. Juicy and ripe. Great tannins. Very pure. Lovely tannins. — 11 years ago
Day 2... smoky bacon bits,, tobacco, cracked pepper, plum and blackberry. Big and bold. Classic. Dry, tannic (especially for Syrah), with rich blue and blackberry fruit. Striking fruit leads to savory finish. Paired very well with elk chili. Showed well after a 2 hour decant yesterday. Drink with decant or hold. — 5 years ago
The Faury Saint Joseph rouge is clearly one of the best Syrah values out there but don’t sleep on the blanc, which also happens to be among the most enjoyable northern Rhône whites I’ve ever had. Forget Condrieu and Hermitage blanc and buy this instead. Actually, forget I said anything — 6 years ago
Serious and gorgeous Syrah from Eric Texier. Silky black fruits, bacon fat and bursting with fresh violets sense and elegance you might associate with far more famous appellations, but in fact this is from a rather rare and under appreciated corner of the Ardéche 30 miles from Hermitage. Very soft, low alcohol, great purity of fruit. Black pepper and minerals intermingle with very fine tannins. This is actually made from the ancient Vieille Serine varietal, generally recognized as Syrah. Zero sulfur added before bottling, so it is on the natural side- some bottles will show some brett influence. My favorite Texier wine thus far. Unique and lovely wine. — 7 years ago
Cru Beaujolais made in a Croze-Hermitage cellar and it shows! Tasty! — 8 years ago
Made in the central part of Saint-Joseph, on the steepest hill (above the village of Mauves) with granite soil (just like Hermitage) from 90+ year old vines. The name of the vineyard is called simply 'Saint Joseph'. This is the original part of the appellation. In other words 'Le Berceau' (the cradle). Powerful wine, dark fruit, smoked meats. On the bold side of the spectrum, but damn great. — 9 years ago

Fantastic Syrah. We picked after comparing it to a Burgundy we thought we loved until we tasted both. Highly recommend. — 7 years ago
at a #steakhouse looking for a (rare) deal? 💵 hit "St. Joseph," which is a medium- to full-framed, plum-violet, mineral-laced stand-in for the more expensive and complex wines of northern Rhône, such as Hermitage and Côte Rôtie - this killer St Cosme 🍷 was plummy, savory, graphite-y and smooth with Benjamin Steak's perfectly grilled boeuf — 7 years ago

Trying to get my liver up to speed for the after math of Rob Knowles tenure talk tomorrow.....this Hermitage is a straight down the middle, no-nonsense northern Rhone Syrah.....as expected, not big on the front end, rounded, Slightly tanic and great finish......tobacco, leather and almost blueberry overtones...delicate yet satisfying for a reasonably low price point — 9 years ago
