"Lurid ruby. Mineral-accented aromas of fresh dark berries, pungent flowers and five-spice powder. Juicy and taut on the palate, offering spicy blackberry and violet pastille flavors complemented by a touch of smokiness. Puts on weight with air while maintaining energy and focus, and finishes bright, silky and very long, with excellent clarity, harmonious tannins and repeating spiciness."

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.
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.
