Acorn wine is hard to come by; a relatively small producer that produces wonderful field blends. — 9 years ago

1985. Tasting this was like sitting next to a WWII vet on a train...some respect for an old school gentleman...they don't make wines like this any more: herbal, pencil shavings, cigar, tea, lots of acid, grainy tannins, light body, refreshing...let's bring cab like this back! — 10 years ago

Consumed 11/2017. I have rated this wine before, but the bottle had a different description so I am adding this one as well. When I try to look back at my previous ratings, I can’t figure out how to see what year the vintage was. That could be why the description on the bottle is different.
Robust flavors of ripe berry fruit meld harmoniously with smoky oak and subtle hints of eucalyptus and the earth. An elegant Cassis note complements the long, noble finish. — 8 years ago
My first Chantanuef-du-Pape. Light, wispy nose of sliced red apple and subtle cranberry, with some calcium underneath. Light bodied and well balanced with bing cherries and soft, but present, tannins. — 9 years ago
Enjoyed this wine.
