Clos des Brusquières
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Soft structure and very approachable out the gates. Consistent w other 2014s I've had. These wines may not age all that well but provide immense pleasure in the near term. Red fruits, floral nuance. Syrah shows a little bit more than previous vintages as this has a spicy, olive salinity that I attribute to that grape.

Lets travel across the pond to a little place called The Rhone in Rhone France. This is Chateauneuf du Pape Controle. Yep, no Cali cabs tonight. This is Clos des Brusquieres 2014. The color is that of a merlot, slightly darker than a pinot noir (Im sorry, Im a California guy. The legs are thick and slow to fall. The longer I decanted the more I had to change this review!!!!!! I finally added it to my wide base decanter and vigorously swirled it around creating many bubbles. The initial bouquet is rose water and cherry pie and an almost pepper aroma. The initial palate is earthy and spice. It begins with notes of red raspberry and leather. It quickly dissipates to a wonderful dark purple and red fruit like almost ripe plum and crabapple finish. It is dry yet somewhat light on the palate. I highly recommend this one.!!!!!!!!! It will be my French representation in my around the world tasting coming up next month. A very interesting wine. The best French wine Ive had to date.
