A wine that punches well above its price point is the 2006 St Joseph les Granits Blanc, and Northern Rhône lovers should buy this cuvee in just about every vintage. Offering lots of complexity in its buttered citrus, apple, white truffle, celery and savory aromas and flavors, this beauty is full-bodied, rich and textured on the palate. Like the other whites from this team, it’s drinking perfectly today, yet should keep for at least another decade or more. Having said that, why push a good thing? Drink! - Jeb Dunnuck

Really powerful but beautifully framed and balanced with tropical mango papaya and melon fruit flavors gliding over floral macadamia nut glazed yellow apple and mineral notes. The long pure finish just sails on. Drink now through 2018. 639 cases made.
