"Opaque purple. Explosively perfumed, pungent bouquet of ripe cherry and candied plum, with exotic Asian spice and incense notes adding complexity. Intense dark fruit flavors boast remarkable sweetness and depth, becoming spicier and broader with air. I tried to find the tannins but kept hitting a wall of deep berry fruit. This is superb."

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.
Produces some of the world's most powerful and long-lived Syrah from a single granite hill, yielding dense, structured reds and rich whites.
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.
