"(Made with 85% whole clusters.) Youthful purple. Mineral- and spice-accented aromas of cassis, cherry liqueur, Asian spices and licorice, along with a hint of olive in the background. Juicy and focused on the palate, showing superb depth as well as energy to the bitter cherry, dark berry spicecake and floral pastille flavors. Fine-grained tannins build steadily and shape the finish, which shows intense mineral cut and wonderful, spice- and floral-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.
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.
