International Wine Cellar 90 points: Light red. Highly perfumed nose offers vibrant strawberry, lavender, rose and honey. Clean, sweet and spicy, with wonderfully bright raspberry and strawberry flavors, fine tannins and an explosively pure finish. An elegant, utterly delicious wine that's drinking well now. This Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge from France's Southern Rhone region is one of France's most famous wines. The vines are grown on a large-stoned terroir that can only be described as bizzare! It's composition is 76% Grenache, 12% Syrah, 7% Mourvèdre, 3% Cinsault, 2% Clairette, 2% Counoise, and 2% Vaccarese. The wine is ultimately round and rich, with a full-bodied texture and long, highly satisfying finish.
