Grande Réserve Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Very nice drinkable now - perfect medium bodied and already pretty soft. $25 seems hard to believe. Buy again

Classic GSM blend! Not any berry notes left but instead you get the terroir. Some taste of prune too. It has aged nicely and softened on the palate.

random pick up at a liquor store before eating at Michael John’s restaurant in Florida. Cherry on the palate and I remember distinctively, not as much depth as one hoped. Very flat if you will. It didn’t help that the restaurant didn’t have good glasses either.

I like this one for the unpretentious nature of it. I bought this because it’s an example of me following an importer who hasn’t let me astray this far. You have to know his style though, and his style is family vineyards that aren’t necessarily you’re full of marketing full of expensive vintages but are good, solid, quality wines. This is exactly it. It’s a tasty CDP that dumb doesn’t come across as to alcoholic while still maintaining those wonderful warm and round notes. Not too hot, not hammy, good structure and light flowing fruit.
