The closest to Chateauneuf du Pape out of California. Baked blueberries and plum are supported by stale nuts, old toffee and powdery baking spices and cocoa powder with a lingering dust of brown sugar and coffee.

Best California Rhone I have yet to taste. Firm full and functioning. Still showing great fruit with notes of baked black and blue berries. a seem-less transition into a chocolate espresso finish.

Nice "CDP" from Paso Robles. It is aging beautifully. Went nicely with the lamb chops with cranberry relish.
