2004 Northern Rhone preview

Article Abstract:

Cellar notes from eight top domaines point toward a potentially outstanding vintage. The red wines are based overwhelmingly on syrah, showing bright fruit and fresh acidity and the white wines made variously from Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne are even better than the reds in 2004, with crunchy acidity and fresh, minerally finishes and rank as some of the greatest white wines in the world.
