Blend of 70% Grenache, 17% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah & 3% Cinsault, deep Ruby color with aromas of berry fruits, oak and floral spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with oak, herb spice and floral notes. Wine was complex and elegant with fine smooth tannins, long fruit and spicy finish. Very Nice! — 10 months ago

Pop and pour. Well, wow, I should have bought more of this. On the nose: dense plum, strawberry, cinnamon, intense without being over the top. On the palate: tar, blackberry, charcoal, dense and dark fruited...so well-balanced, fantastic length and juiciness and the finely grained tannin sneaks up on the finish. — 6 years ago
Champagne Blanc de Noir, my faouvorite! — 7 years ago
2005 vintage on De 20, 2017 at Sun River, OR with skillet roasted lemon chicken (Ina Garten). Tasted alongside a 1999 Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard to compare and contrast. Elegant and mature C-d-Pape at the peak of its life. Fully developed with a lot of great life left but also no need to wait to drink. This why we love C-d-Pape. Bought at K&L wine auction in 2017. — 9 years ago
Seen this wine have even more stella reviews than my 9.5... It's irrepressible length and intensity can't be ignored, but it's quite oxidative in its style and will no doubt find its doubters. None the less its darn impressive with fruit from Grand cru vineyards and was disgorged mid 2015 — 10 years ago
Scrumptious. — 12 years ago
Lovely nose of ripe pear, honey, cake frosting. Pretty easy to sip - round, toasty, decent acidity, slight pleasant bitterness, fresh enough but age showing nicely. — 2 years ago

Thick, lush white blend Chateauneuf du Pape, mild fruit, but dry, at Joshua’s in Wells Maine — 8 years ago
This vintage quite a bit more high toned w Beaujolais like qualities. The red fruits are crunchy w earth and lots of acidity. With some time this will develop nicely. — 11 years ago
2006. Needs to breath about 45 minutes then opens up to light raspberries and soft leather and bark. Excellent. — 11 years ago
