A rising tide lifts all boats, and that's certainly the case with this 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape, the best showing I can recall from the local cave cooperative's entry-level bottling. It's 90% Grenache, with the rest equal parts Mourvèdre and Syrah, aged in stainless steel and concrete, allowing the silky raspberry and stone fruit elements to shine. Hints of allspice and clove appear on the finish of this full-bodied wine, giving it a modicum of complexity. Drink it over the next 6-7 years.
