"(Gold capsule.) Opaque ruby. Heady, smoke- and spice-tinged boysenberry, black raspberry and violet aromas show excellent clarity and a hint of licorice. Sweet and broad on the palate, offering concentrated dark berry and floral pastille flavors plus a suggestion of spicecake. The impressively long, energetic finish features bright minerally cut, an echo of juicy dark fruit and chewy tannins that come 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.
Produces some of the world's most powerful and long-lived Syrah from a single granite hill, yielding dense, structured reds and rich whites.
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.
