Lovely #châteauneuf #chateauneufdupape on the nose and on the palate it almost seems like a Pinot Noir. It has an amazing lightness and floral quality to it. Lavender and potpourri. Meaty and spicy on the palate. Good acidity with a pinch of VA showing. This is a good wine to taste for all of those who say they don’t like #Grenache #Garnacha

Feel like I should have either let this one age even longer or open it earlier….punchy fruit but too much edge to it….mellowed later on but also turned a bit sour

High acid, past it's best. First glass was ok but no where near my expectations for a CNDP

Nice nose- great pairing wine. We had Scott’s fabulous chicken rice with white wine. Perfecto!

Brick red/brown on the eye, medium viscosity. Nose sees ripe red cherries, cough drops, tobacco, caramel. Palette sees light mouthfeel, medium+ acid, tart cherries, oak, long finish, medium+ alcohol. Enjoyed this and great value for $27...
