"Opaque ruby. An intensely perfumed bouquet evokes fresh dark berries, cherry compote and violet, while exotic vanilla and peppery spice notes add complexity. Pliant blackberry and boysenberry flavors show good depth, breadth and gentle sweetness plus a touch of smokiness. The spice and blue fruit qualities carry through the finish, which hangs on with very good tenacity and building tannins."

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.
