Rhône Wine
Located along a section of the Rhone river in southeastern France, this is really two regions.
The northern Rhone is primarily the land of Syrah. The white wines are made from Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne. Here, the Rhone Valley narrows, forming steep terraces on which the vines grow. Cooled by the harsh mistral wind, this region has a continental climate. The major Syrah appellations are, roughly from north to south, Cote-Rotie, Condrieu (Viognier), Chateau-Grillet (Viognier; monopole), Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage, and Cornas. Saint-Peray is a bit of an oddball here, producing white sparkling wines from Marsanne and Roussanne.
The southern Rhone has a milder climate that moves seamlessly into the Mediterranean climate of Provence. The red wines are made from Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Cinsaut, and Mourvedre. The major appellations are Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, Lirac, Vacqueyras, Costieres de Nimes, and Tavel. The last of these produces only rose wine. The whites Read more »

Perrin les Christins Vacqueras 2005
Snoothrank:
Great wine, will certainly improve over the next 3-5 years. Super Southern Rhone flavor profile with a finish that lasts for 30 seconds. Dark red fruits on a very well made wine. Integrated tannins that will smooth out over time. Impressed! Looking forward to my next 3 bottles, would buy more, but no room in the cellar! Read More
