"Two component parts of this wine were tasted, and both proved to be outstanding. This is a traditionally made, peppery, dried herb, black cherry-scented and flavored wine with full body, heady alcohol, and the vintage's lofty levels of glycerin, extract, and low acidity. The result is a sumptuously-styled wine that can be drunk young or cellared . . ."

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.
