Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines come from the Southern Rhône and exude Old World Charm. Famed critic from Vinous, Josh Raynolds, says of Château La Nerthe''s Châteauneuf-du-Pape, "High-pitched, mineral-accented red berry and floral aromas are complicated by suggestions of allspice and licorice. Juicy and focused on the palate, displaying impressive energy and lift to the raspberry and bitter cherry flavors. Rich yet lithe, carrying no excess weight. Smooth tannins build slowly through a very long, spice- and floral-tinged finish." This wine will work beautifully with all kinds of meat dishes.

Oh gosh gimme gimme. Dried berry fruit, dusty rusty tannin, humming acidity and just the tiniest oak influence. Forest floor and extraordinary length.

Cigar and dried fruits. Subtle with a few years to go.

Medium Garnet in color. Just amazing nose. Perfumed spice. Nutmeg. The varietal nuance sang through with prune, figs, cedar box and cherry. Aged to a very nice finish.

1990 vintage. A bit maderized on nose and palate but still showing dark black cherries and plums on a medium body with some lingering freshness.
