"The 1999 Cote Rotie, is a blend of purchased wine from such well-known hillside vineyards as Les Roziers, Les Grandes Places, Viaillere, and Champin. This 500-case cuvee of 100% Syrah, offers a classic perfume of bacon fat, licorice, smoked herbs, tapenade, blackberries, and creme de cassis. This wine possesses an unctuous texture as well as fabulous ripeness, adequate acidity, and sweet, unobtrusive tannin . . . . It is a brilliant Cote Rotie!"

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 northern Rhone's most prestigious red appellation, producing perfumed, elegant Syrah, often co-fermented with a little Viognier, from steep terraced slopes.
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.
