Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend
Bright Ruby with aromas of red fruit, blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre and 20% Syrah. Aromas of berry fruits, oak & sweet spice. On the palate flavors of raspberry, cherry and blackberry with hints of oak, leather, vanilla spice and black pepper, aged in oak, complex and elegant with fine soft tannins, long finish. Just getting good now, will age just a bit more!

Apr 11th, 2024Ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, sweet cherries, currants, oak, light vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, earth, black tea and wet leaves.
This is a tasty Grenache blend from Southern Rhone. Well balanced with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
This 5 year old, from one of the better vintages in the last 20 years, is still young and would be better in 5 years, but already drinking very nicely.
Wine Enthusiasts 91 points.
Showing a pretty nose of wild flowers with earth notes. Fruityer on the palate and very juicy.
A blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre and 15% Syrah.
15% alcohol by volume.

Tasted just like the La Nerthe CDR I had recently - expect a lot more bang for the buck w/CDP

Jul 8th, 2024Probably still in a younger phase. Has a nice nut roll component at the end.

Aug 31st, 2023Improved from 7 months ago! Raspberries, strawberries, a hint of spices due to Syrah. Still would better in a year from now!
