"Packed from the start, with muscular currant, fig and blackberry fruit flavors that are studded with brambly tannins and backed by iron, bay, lavender and dark olive notes. The taut chalky spine holds everything together. Dense and dark, but the detail is there. Should cellar wonderfully. This is very serious Cornas . . . . [Only] 300 cases made."

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.
