Châteauneuf du Pape Red Rhone Blend 2023

Bought on a whim because it was cheap, had a decent legit review, and was only 14.5%. I have never heard of this label but a little sleuthing indicates it’s a secondary label of Maison Lavau. I like the nose. Kirsch and tomato leaf in the fore. A bit of warm gravel. In the mouth it’s nicely balanced. Alcohol in check, a tad bit of tannin, pretty good flavor concentration. Not complex or super deep, but a damn nice southern Rhone for a weeknight dinner. More mature than I would expect for a 2-year old Rhone. Definitely made for current drinking. — 8 days ago

In blind tastings ChdP often surprises me with immediate pleasure and a Cru de Beaujolais alike drinkability.

Vacqueyras Red Rhone Blend 2014

Delicious wine at an exceptional value - little did I know that this wine is practically the "little brother" of Chateauneuf du Pape! Long finishing notes of fresh bing cherries, raspberry, and spice. Beautiful aromatics of sweet red fruit, herbs, rock, and blackberries. — 7 years ago

Love this! 2019, dark cherry, hint of spice, and so many complex layers to this one as the night goes on. — 9 months ago

Côtes du Rhône Rosé Blend 2021

A whiff of cherry-blossom perfume introduces flavors of fresh strawberry and raspberry. Medium bodied and briskly balanced, the rejuvenating, fruity sip is anchored by a salty, mineral edge. — 2 years ago
