Quick Overview

Wine Spectator Top 100: 2011 #34! Possibly the most opulent and structured yet, the 2008 is closest approximation to the Chateauneuf du Pape cuvées that have been his guiding light. Aromas of smoked meats, well worn bicycle gears, strawberry jam and spiced chocolate greet a robust palate of sweet cinnamon, brambles, apple butter and bonfire.

WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: Fresh floral, grapey wild berry and blackberry flavors are snappy, intense and vibrant, yet at the same time delicate and firm, with a minerally edge. The flavors are intense, lively, vivid and detailed, ending with a mixed thread of berry flavors. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Viognier. Drink now through 2020. 960 cases made.
