"A spitting image of finesse and elegance, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix (69% Grenache, 15% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, and the balance Cinsault) comes all from the sandy soils located around the estate. It offers lots of kirsch, garrigue and dried earth/sandy loam notes, full body, ultra-fine tannin and a great finish. This cuvee is always the more ethereal and silky of the three single-vineyard cuvees from this estate, and itâs drinking beautifully today."

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.
