Dark cherry and raspberry surge with licorice and warming spices that build with air. Emmanuel Reynaud's precision shines through the wine's juicy energy and fine-grained structure. The long finish confirms this will hit its stride around 2014.

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.
