"(Raised entirely in demi-muids): Inky ruby. Complex mineral- and spice-accented scents of dark fruit liqueur, passion fruit, violet and olive paste. Juicy and sharply focused on the palate, offering intense boysenberry and bitter cherry flavors underscored by smoky minerality. Shows outstanding depth and energy and finishes spicy and very long, with a resonating floral quality 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.
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.
