Tasted in 2014 by Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2008 Saint Joseph Les Granits, the most forward and complex of the range, is perfect for drinking anytime over the next 7-10 years. Medium-bodied, elegant and supple, with solid ripeness and texture, it has impressive aromas of pepper, undergrowth, rose petal and superb minerality in its lively, elegant and seamless style."
