"Bright purple. Black and blue fruits on the highly perfumed nose, with notes of star anise, potpourri and cracked pepper adding complexity. Stains the palate with intense, spice-driven black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors, picking up sweetness and floral nuances with air. Fine-grained tannins give shape and grip to a strikingly long, focused and mineral-accented finish. This wine's balance and mineral expression is something else."

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.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
