The 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape is a classic wine from this estate and gives up pretty notes of strawberries, licorice, peppery herbs and leather. The wine is made from 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah and the rest Cinsault. Drink this medium-bodied, elegant and lightly textured 2013 over the coming 5-6 years. It’s a sexy, forward beauty that’s hard to resist. While no 2014s were submitted, both 2013 Châteauneuf du Papes were outstanding and had seductive, supple, if not sexy profiles that are geared for near term drinking.
