"Deep brilliant ruby. Smoke-accented aromas of fresh dark berries, olive and pungent flowers, along with a hint of gaminess that builds with air. Chewy and spicy in the mouth, offering bitter cherry, cassis and floral pastille flavors that show very good depth and building sweetness. Chewy tannins frame the finish, which echoes the gamy note and lingers with strong, blue-fruit-driven persistence."

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.
