Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Ruby with aromas of red berry fruits, oak and sweet spice, blend of 70% Grenache and 15% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre. On the palate flavors of raspberry, cherry and blackberry with hints of oak, leather, vanilla spice and black pepper. Aged in oak the wine was complex and elegant with smooth tannins, long spicy finish. Nice!

The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is composed of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 15% Mourvèdre. The 2020 displays fragrant aromas of blackberry, black cherry, raspberry, crème de cassis and dried herbs. Tightly structured, full-bodied and layered, the ripe tannins are very well integrated into the wine, as is the 15.5% alcohol. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, June 2023)

Fishing trip to Northern Wisconsin with a few bottles. Hence the plastic glass- gonna be much safer than glass around the campfire after I'm a few glasses deep. This is my Pape-Bleu Ribbon, as it were. Stony and juicy, good acidity and moderate tannins. Very solid wine from one of my favorite regions.
