Northern Rhône Wine
The northern Rhone is a section of the river of the same name in the southeast of France. Here, the Rhone Valley is steep and narrow, and the powerful mistral wind blows through it. The best vineyards are on terraced slopes. Syrah is the most important grape variety, and some of the red wines made from it stand with the best of Bordeaux. The following appellations produce mostly red wines made from Syrah, as well as a small amount of white wine: Cote Rotie (no white), St-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Cornas (no white), and Hermitage. Condrieu and Chateau Grillet both make unique wines from Viognier. Chateau Grillet is a monopole -- an entire appellation that belongs to only one producer. There are also sparkling white wines made in St-Peray from Marsanne and Roussanne.

Yann Chave Crozes-Hermitage 2004
Snoothrank:
On the nose: Initially there were beef jerky, smoky chocolate notes. After an hour aerating, more fruit aromas came out, such as raspberry, hints of vanilla, jam and some flowery spice.On the pallete: Noticeably tannins, decent acidity, likely could have aged a bit longer. Decent raspberry, meaty, earthy flavors. Kind of got a tangy honey n... Read More

Snoothrank:
Simply one of the best red wines I have ever tasted. (2002). Tried another bottle 2 years later, but this wasn't as charming and meaty, with hints of steakblood, a good stouw and off course the dark purple lichorise blackberry taste, as the first one. Read More
