WineSaint

Wild cherry and garrigue explode from the glass with intoxicating intensity. Reynaud's sandy soils speak through mineral-driven fruit that's both powerful and graceful. The palate shows remarkable depth. Dark fruit, tar and Mediterranean herbs building in waves. Firm tannins provide structure without overwhelming the wine's inherent elegance. Built for decades.

Château Rayas

Château Rayas is the most mythologized estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, producing pure Grenache of startling finesse from old vines on sandy, sheltered soils. Its wines age for decades and routinely redefine what the appellation can be.
