2017, from 375. Abs beautiful. Red fruit and garrigue. Long grippy finish.

Neil Valenzuela

Medium ruby color. Aromas of dried cherry, blackberry, plum and earthy/dirt. What a wine! The GSM come through with black and red fruit, gorgeous finish!

Stuart Pollack

I might be the only naysayer, but I found this wine thin, tannic, and disappointing at this point. The nose was extraordinarily good, but the palette just did not match it. Maybe this wine will be better with age for me, but I did not appreciate it now, and it was quite expensive.

Mike Campbell

So good. No comments necessary.

Charlie Tapp

Fig, olive and garrigue.

2017 vintage, a classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Light burgundy color. Aroma of dark red fruits, and alcohol. Nice fruity flavors. Especially as it opens and I imagine in a couple of years it will be very nice.
