Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Very subtle red raspberry and cherry on the nose. Moderate to low aromas. Dry, full-bodied, fresh acidity, high and dry tannins with notes of spices and a hint of gamey/meaty notes. Did this wine blind and was able to narrow it down to France but when asked if it was from Burgundy, Bordeaux or the Rhone I guessed Bordeaux and was wrong. This wine was hard because it didn't show a whole lot but maybe that was the clue. Still developing my palate and gaining knowledge on regions.

Mar 15th, 2017Intense red almost purple. In the nose nice minerality, umami, herbs with a strong thime finish. On the palate black cherries, leather, blackberry. Nice minerality with balanced and moderate tannins. Overall great wine. Perfect companion for a rare steak.

Light bodied and savory with lots of vegetable notes like green bell pepper. Overall too young, but once the acid mellows out it'll be superb.

Was not familiar with this producer but downright tasty and has the structure to age.
