The 2013 Chateauneuf du Pape comes mostly from the la Crau plateau and is 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre and the rest an even split of Syrah and Cinsault. Fermented with 100% stems, this medium to full-bodied effort offers tons of black and blue fruits, ground pepper, violets and wet rock-like aromas and flavors. Beautifully textured, it plays nicely in the cooler nature of the vintage, has solid mid-palate density and will have 10-15 years of overall longevity. R21-1
