The nose is coconut, oyster shells, popcorn. Citrus, meyer lemon sweetish taste with plenty of acidity and lingering tart flavor. #chateaurayas — 8 years ago
Lots of herbs spearmint and eucalyptus leather dust rich with rose and fresh cinnamon stick. I can't believe it's Grenache! #sandysoils #2000vintage #chateaurayas — 9 years ago
Pretty much wine perfection! #chateaurayas #Châteauneuf-du-Pape — 10 years ago
My first #chateaurayas and now I understand the hype. Very Burgundian in style but this is just a unique wine deserving its own category. This wine had profound complexity and was perfectly balanced. It is so young. #chateauneufdupape #southernrhone #rhonevalley #grenache #ctbucklinwine — 8 years ago
