"Robust ruby-garnet . . . with a wide, watery rim. A fine, ripe plum note, pleasant tobacco spice, nuances of orange zest, ripe cherries, and subtle licorice: a multi-faceted bouquet. Light-footed, but juicy, with sweet cherry fruit extract, fine tannins, a hint of nougat in the finish, and a saline echo; a finesse-rich food companion that is now perfectly ready to drink. Medium-bodied in the manner of the clarets of old."

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.
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.
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.
