Les Granières de la Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Is there a more classic pairing than CdP and Doritos?
I give this wine higher marks than its other reviewers. This 2019 is in a sweet spot. Very light and lush, like a pinot noir. Raspberries, plum, and earth. Not a lot of spice. Low acidity, low tannins, but not like it's over the hill. It's not what I expected, but it's really really good.

Good! This is a big one - leather and heft but not smoky per se. Ink and plum. Great with steak.

This is classic CdP! Carries that intense complexity profiling ripe red fruit, spices (clove), dried herbs (thyme), coffee, cola, and other notes inbetween. Casually unpretentious satisfying wine, especially when paired with rich meat dishes. Cheers.
