"For a terrible vintage, it has come close to being outstanding. It still exhibits a deep garnet color with some amber at the edge. The exotic, barbecue spice, roasted herb, green olive, and black-raspberry-scented nose is intact as well as interesting. On the palate, the wine's attack offers juicy fruit, a whiff of under ripe vegetables, and a compact finish."

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.
