As my husband always says, "You can't go wrong with Chateauneuf du Pape". This 2019 is no exception, great fruit, smooth, well balanced. — 3 years ago
And once in a while amongst still half a case of (too) old chateauneuf you find a bottle that has survived the time. Color clear, transparent at the edge going from yellow to deeper orange to scarlet. Nose complex and alive. Peppery, garigue, sweet. A joy to drink especially when you expect close to vinegar.

Good drinking albeit a bit too young. Raspberry, plum, and some licorice notes. — 4 years ago
A nice dark cherry red color with a wide brim. The nose opens up with some nice spice and green earth. Plenty of funk and fun on display here. Dense moss and forest woodland screams before the bright red fruits show up to play. The floral aromatics really set this one off.
45/30/25 of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, this is a Central Coast take on Chateauneuf du Pape and baby, it works. It’s a gentle onslaught of goodness. Mounds and mounds of bright, fresh fruits come in waves. Wild strawberry, red cherry, and raspberry. A hint of dark chocolate with menthol and more greenery. It seems like people don’t know how good these are and that’s a crying shame. Beautiful wine and so hard to beat. — 6 years ago
Nice CDP. Well integrated. Could use a bit more structure in my book. — 2 days ago
Classic Besucastel! I first visited this property in 1987, and the Brett character was unmistakeable. This 1990 is aging extremely well. Strong Brett aromas, but the fruit is also strong and in balance. If you are one that thinks Brett is an unforgivable flaw, you will hate this. Great Chateauneuf from a great vintage! Celebrating my son’s 33rd birthday tonight (1993 wasn’t a great vintage in CdP!) with a perfectly grilled NY steak. I am very pleased with this wine — 3 months ago

Smoky, meaty, and minty, good but needs lamb. — 3 years ago
