"Vivid ruby color. Pungent, spice- and mineral-accented red berry preserve and floral scents are complemented by suggestions of incense and garrigue. Silky, penetrating and appealingly sweet, showing impressive depth as well as delineation to its intense raspberry liqueur, cherry and lavender pastille flavors. Finishes very long and smoky, with harmonious tannins coming in late."

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.
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.
