Tasting notes
Dark ruby. Scents of blackberry, cherry, spicecake and violet slowly take on a white pepper nuance. Supple and gently sweet, offering bitter cherry, succulent herb and cola flavors that show good depth and focus. Slow-building tannins give shape to the plush fruit on a warm finish that echoes the herbal note.

The classic 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape offers tons of Provençal character in its mulled cherries, licorice, spice box and garrigue laced bouquet. Made from 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Mourvedre. Drink this medium-bodied, rounded and delicious effort over the coming 5-6 years.
Bright violet color. High-pitched aromas of black raspberry and boysenberry, along with hints of smoky herbs and white pepper. Warm and broad on entry, then tighter in the mid-palate, offering gently sweet dark fruit flavors and a touch of licorice. Shows a bit of heat on the finish, which is framed by smooth tannins.
