As prior RPWA reviewers noted, Cristia's 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape was destined for early drinking, and it should be drunk up. It's garnet to brick in hue, with scents of roasted meat, soy sauce and dried cherries. Full-bodied, soft, supple and easy, with decent length, co-proprietor Baptiste Grangeon said, "It's not the vintage I would recommend, but I'm happy to drink it."
