Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France
8.0
WineSaint
Rich and brooding, with dark cherry, wild herbs and smoky earth building beautifully in the glass. The palate shows impressive depth and concentration, layering blackberry fruit with hints of pepper and mineral. Polished tannins provide backbone without overwhelming the elegant fruit expression.
