"Full red. Extremely fresh, expansive black raspberry and mulberry scents are accompanied by notes of smoky garrigue and spicecake. Showing more vivacity than it did from barrel, with sweet red and dark berry flavors staining the palate and picking up notes of anise and violet pastille with air. Smoothly melds richness and energy, and finishes with strong lift and lovely precision."

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.
