An intense and expressive nose offering up youthful aromas dominated by fresh fruit (raspberry and cherry), delicately spiced and enhanced by an oaky note. Ample, fresh and fruity on the palate combining ripe red fruit with blackcurrant, raspberry and jammy sour cherry notes. Well-balanced structure revealing spicy flavors (licorice, pepper). Soft resin notes and a touch of oak give the wine beautiful complexity. Fine tannins ensure a smooth, very harmonious texture in the finish. Blend: 60% Grenache Noir, 20% Syrah, 20% Mourvdre.

92 Points–Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape features scents of caramelized cherries with hints of cinnamon and vanilla. It’s medium to full-bodied, lush and seductive, with a silky, enveloping mouthfeel and a gentle, lingering finish.
