Bonjour Syrah 100% from Rhone. Hints of white peppers, plums and black cherries match nicely with ethnic food. Keep it cooler than room temperature to enjoy the bottle. — 10 days ago

Leads with smoke and meat. Followed by blackberries, black plums, and black pepper. A slight touch of funk. So f’ing good. — 7 days ago

A warm ripe year, but exhibits classic balance, depth, and layering. Looking forward to seeing how this vineyard progresses. — 13 days ago

Big, ripe nose with tons of mineral. Really refined. Also a bit closed aromatically. Palate is glorious. So elegant yet deep and concentrated with amazing granite minerality. Huge concentration. Tiny berry fruit intensity. So pure and so deep. Amazing detail. Suave tannins. Nose opens up after a bit with deep mineral and wet earth. Stunning wine. — 10 days ago

17 is gonna blow some minds. Huge nose of blackberry fruit, classic, deep granite, menthol and even pine. So aromatic. Smells deep. Incredible power and concentration. Superb freshness and depths. Loads of blackberry and deep rich fruit. Awesome acids. Amazing purity. Epic value. Terrific structure and depth. Will age 15+ years. — 10 days ago

In 2012 they blended their two single vineyard sites, La Chave and Luc into this one wine. It’s a freak show. Huge olive, huge blackberry and huge granite. An intense earthy minerality. So so complex. Almost like a tapenade. Amazing aromas. So juicy and with incredible energy. Wow what soft but such fine tannins. This is incredible. Amazing texture and balance with just ridiculous length and freshness. Stunning purity. — 18 days 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 — 8 days ago

I love this wine! Very aromatic. Spice, black pepper, olive, mineral, a bit tart, complex, layered and long. Excellent QPR! — 7 days ago

This is drinking (and smelling!) so good right now. Nose has extremely spicy blackberry/cassis, oodles of crushed granite, bloody meat, sweet spices. So neat. Soft and mouthfillingly savory, with little tannin, nice acidity, and good length. — 13 days ago
