"Glass-staining ruby. A drop-dead, heady bouquet evokes red and dark fruit liqueur, lavender, sandalwood and smoky minerals. Strikingly energetic and lithe, offering pliant black raspberry and boysenberry flavors and exotic floral pastille and spicecake qualities. Supple tannins come on late and add shape to an endless, penetrating finish. This stunning wine was one of my favorites of this year's Rhone Valley marathon."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The southern Rhone's most famous appellation, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and more into rich, warming, spice-laden reds from galet-strewn soils.
