WineSaint

Dense and aromatic with wild cherry, smoke and exotic spice building in layers. The palate shows remarkable intensity for the vintage, with piercing acidity driving dark fruit through a long, mineral-laced finish. Silky tannins provide structure without weight. A triumph that transcends 2011's challenges.

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.
