Hailing from the steep, granite slopes of Rhone Valley, the 2016 Domaine Blachon Saint-Joseph Le Paradis Cuvee Tradition is a testament to the exceptional terroir of this region. Garnering an impressive rating, this wine is a symphony of dark fruit and spicy, earthy undertones. On the palate, you can expect a delightful burst of ripe blackberries and plums, interlaced with notes of black pepper and smoky minerals – a complex yet harmonious blend. This elegant Syrah is a perfect companion to a juicy steak or a cozy winter dinner. Retailing originally at $35, the current price point makes it a smart buy that delivers well beyond its peers in terms of quality.
