"Easier to read than the backwards, tight Cuvee Renaissance, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is 100% Grenache that was aged in smaller, older barrels. It is a blockbuster Grenache that's overflowing with notions of sweet cassis, blackberries, smoked herbs, garrigue and licorice. Full-bodied, sweetly fruited, voluptuous, hedonistic and unctuously textured, it's a no-holds-barred expression of old-vine Grenache to enjoy anytime . . ."

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 southern Rhone's most famous appellation, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and more into rich, warming, spice-laden reds from galet-strewn soils.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
A late-ripening red lending structure, dark fruit and gamey, meaty complexity to southern Rhone and Mediterranean blends.
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.
