Region: France (Chateauneuf du Pape)

Grapes: (GSM) 70% Grenache, 15% Mouvedre, 15% Syrah

Taste: Lovely bramble-fruit purity on the nose, full of expressive and attractive red fruit, followed by savory chocolate aromas and soft tannins. Enjoyable and articulate, with lovely Grenache typicality plus the savory, herbal edge of Châteauneuf.

Pairings: Grilled lamb with rosemary, ribeyes

Drink now but also promises much more with a few more years in the cellar.
