Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Nose of bright cherry and wild strawberry.
Saline comes in, on, and washes over the tongue.the fruit is soft, with the tiniest of tannins.
The body lacks depth and the wine lacks true terroir character. Not a C-D-P, in my opine. Though you get what you pay for.
Le mistral does not blow through these vineyards, apparently.

Medium light body seems to be Grenache forward with a lesser blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre. Medium/low tannins and higher acidity. Pleasant wine that pairs well with cheeses.

Medium minus body for a CdP. The Grenache has a nice little spice. Has a nose like a Beaujolais and cherry fruit on the palate. Needs time in crystal. But after two hours the flavors came through very harmonious and crisp.
