Deep ruby. Aromas of ripe red berries, cherry skin, lavender and smoky minerals, with a sexy spicecake nuance building in the glass. Juicy and seamless on the palate, with sweet raspberry and floral pastille flavors showing very good depth and energy. Clings nicely on the long, spice-tinged finish, which features supple tannins and an echo of raspberry liqueur. Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media

This stuff is fresh. Perfect for a fall day. These wines are always rockin'. Don't take wine to seriously. Just drink up and enjoy! #popewine

I blinded with this today. Only 1/5 called Grenache. Savory, earthy, and nuanced across the board. Soft aromatics and mildly tannic palate with dried red fruits, earth, and subtle garrigue. Medium body with a tawny rim. Maybe another bottle is in order.

Haven't had a CDP in a long while. For a young wine, it was impressive. A funky yet non-descript nose. Palette is tight and precise with plums and black fruits. Finish is elegant and long. Subject to price, it's a buy.

Nice Châteauneuf. Nothing special today, but enjoyable and totally solid wine.
