Bel Ami Chateauneuf du Pape Red Rhone Blend

Very nice. Not too ripe. Can tell there’s cinsault in there.

Deep ruby, high intensity of tertiary aroma, ripe berries, dry fruit, vanillas, clove, game, meaty, tobacco, fur. Dry, Sweet spices, high tannin ,m acidity, h alcohol, intense flavors. Long finish, need further aging

Excellent CDP at a reasonable price.

Also from Costco. Surprised me, it's really nice. Cherries, plums, garrigue, and wet stones. Makes for an engaging sipper.
Listening to Son House

Same as last time, pleasant? Mellon and citrus.Went well with fresh Sockeye salmon

Some citrus and floral notes. Went well with roasted chicken.

At La Merise December 2025

Juice world. Cherries. GSMC blend. Great find at Vin Chicago.

Would buy again. Great light wine, enjoyed with nigiri!
