The medium to full-bodied 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape is a blend of 50% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre and 25% Syrah. If features notes of cherries and leather and is put together in a smooth, supple format. It's well made, clean and reasonably charming, but it lacks intensity and richness. It will no doubt have plenty of fans for its early accessibility and smoothness.
