"sun-kissed, fruit-forward red highlights the strawberry and red-cherry buoyancy of Grenache with sharper cassis and blackberry flavors and the brambly herbaceousness of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsualt. It's a penetrating, richly concentrated red" Wine Enthusiast

Sourced from Maucoil's youngest vines (still an impressive 40 years old) this sun-kissed, fruit-forward red highlights the strawberry and red-cherry buoyancy of Grenache with sharper cassis and blackberry flavors and the brambly herbaceousness of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsualt. It's a penetrating, richly concentrated red but zesty and vibrant too, finishing on fine, tautly composed tannins. Approachable young, it should improve through 2030. 

A good value is the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape, which is 60% Grenache, 15% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, and the rest Cinsault that was brought up in old barrels and demi-muids. Darker cherries, tobacco, old leather, and some earthy nuances give way to a medium to full-bodied, mouth-filling, character-filled red ideal for drinking over the coming 8-10 years.
