Region Description
(shah toe nuf doo pahp)—Situated on the sun-baked southern reaches of the Rhone Valley, this appellation grows a great number of grape varieties, but is best known for its full-bodied dry reds. As many as thirteen different kinds of grape can end up in one bottle, although most vintners use only three or four, especially Syrah, Mourvédre, and Grenache.
Please note: this vessel is 1.50L, not the standard 750mL.

Tasting notes include flavors of dark fruit like plum and black cherry, combined with earthy notes of tobacco, licorice, and spice.
