"Partially fermented in cement tanks, then finished and aged in oak barrels of varying size, 15% of them new; 70% malo): Pale yellow. Sharply focused aromas of fresh pear and Meyer lemon take on a weightier peach quality with air while maintaining vivacity. Silky and seamless on the palate, offering incisive citrus and pit fruit flavors complemented by suave floral and mineral notes. Shows impressive power and intensity on the mineral-driven finish, which leaves behind notes of citrus pith and honeysuckle."

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.
