Product Description Give a special-occasion vintage the presentation it deserves or transform everyday wine drinking into a luxurious event with Riedel's Sommeliers Black Tie stemware collection. A stylish variation of Riedel's 1958 World Exhibition Grand Prix award-winning design, Black Tie offers the original varietal-specific shapes precisely handcrafted of brilliant crystal and adds a dressy finish: a tall black stem on the red wine glasses and a coordinating black base on their white wine mates. This Hermitage/Syrah glass is designed to deliver the classic Syrah aromas of toast and black olives and is recommended for Syrah, Shiraz, Hermitage, Barbera, and Malbec. With a 20-3/4-ounce capacity, the tall bowl brings out the each wine's smooth, velvety composition and balanced flavors, while the narrow rim directs the flow of wine to the tongue to ensure a perfect first impression through a satisfying finish. The glass comes cleverly packaged in a sleek black and red gift tube. Because crystal is course and porous to best intensify flavors, Riedel recommends protecting it by hand washing. --Kara Karll Amazon.com Give a special-occasion vintage the presentation it deserves or transform everyday wine drinking into a luxurious event with Riedel's Sommeliers Black Tie stemware collection.
