Château Rayas Réservé Pignan 2010
Red
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France
8.4
WineSaint
Inky and powerful from those famed sandy soils, showing layers of wild cherry, violet, graphite and herbs de Provence. The 2010 carries serious weight and grip, with muscular tannins that clamp down on the finish. Built for the long haul. Needs cellaring through 2025.
