"Inky ruby. Smoke- and spice-accented scents of dried cherry, black currant and violet pastille complicated by a hint of olive paste. Juicy and smooth on the palate, offering intense, deeply concentrated dark berry and licorice flavors and a touch of cracked pepper. Comes off elegant and precise, finishing with thrust and gentle, harmonious tannins. This wine had just been bottled when I tasted it in Verset's cellar so I'm scoring it in a range for now."

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.
