about this wine:
Another impressive offering from the Terlato & Chapoutier union is the Shiraz-Viognier. It's also uniquely blended, using the Côte Rôtie tradition of combining 5% Viognier with Syrah, which produces a spicy, aromatic wine.
"We are not interested in making wines that are anything less than beautiful and provocative," Chapoutier says. "The vineyard is young but greatness is possible."

95% Shiraz and 5% Viognier, but the little 5% does an amazing job lifting the aromas out of the glass. Fun and different, this is a fantastic little wine. Bright ruby and purple in the glass with a fresh apricot nose over black pepper, blackberry and a touch of menthol. It is smooth and soft in the mouth with rich dark blackberry, apricots and a hint of tar. Spicy and lingering on the finish with a faint dark earthy note.
