"Ruby-red. Deeper and smokier than the normale, displaying scents of cherry, cassis, licorice and smoked meat. Dense and chewy in texture, with pungent dark fruit compote and violet pastille flavors given grip by dusty tannins. An altogether more serious and formidable wine than the basic bottling, with greater finishing richness and a larger tannic structure."

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.
