"The regular cuvee of 1990 Crozes-Hermitage tastes like most producers' Hermitage. The sensational dark purple color is followed by a huge bouquet of roasted, black-raspberry fruit, smoky, earthy scents, and a nice touch of toasty new oak. There is mind-boggling richness in this wine, as well as extraordinary extraction, yet the underpinnings of acidity, tannin, and alcohol are there."

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.
