Les Hauts de Barville Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Nice acidity and well balanced. Red cherries on the palate.

Actually quite great considering it’s a sub-$30 bottle, from Costco. I would definitely get s few more of these and keep for a few years. Dusty, leathery, plum/fig notes. Great on its own or with steak.

Excellent red. Was surprised and pleased. Will buy again

Grenache based CDP that has some Syrah and Mourvèdre blended in. Dark ruby color with bright garnet highlights. Aromas of red cherry, raspberry and violets. Red berry fruit driven palate also includes notes of red licorice, baking spices and hint of asphalt. Lovely long earthy finish. Brisk acidity, dry and slightly chewy tannins. Very well integrated where the fruit and savory components are harmonious. Appreciate you serving this one, Keith S!

2018 vintage. Hollers for the $$. Bang for the buck. QPR. Spice components. Medium body. Lengthy finish. Won’t set your budget back as much as most. Excellent, entry-level CDP. 1.10.24.

Wonderful, not bad, ok, it’s something to drink

Certainly more elegant than many CNDP. Nice complexity with black cherry, medicinal, anise, strawberry compote, vanilla and herbs. For what it lacked in concentration, it delivered on intrigue.

Fragrant nose of red cherry, strawberry, dried herbs, light roast coffee beans, touch of violet. Vibrant palate with fresh acidity. Finely grained tannins is a bit astringent.
Quite youthful at this stage. Need another 4-5 years to show more complexity and substance.

Better CDPthe second time!

Great nose, soft full bodied flavors with lingering finish paired with “impossible burger”
