Tasting Notes
As to the reds, the traditional 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvée checks in as a blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and the balance Muscardin, destemmed and aged in foudre and older barrels. It over-delivers with its deep, rich bouquet of red and black fruits, pepper, garrigue, pepper and floral aromatics, full-bodied richness, a charming, layered textured, and sweet tannin. This is straight up classic stuff that has loads to love, and it going to drink well for 8-10 years easily.
