Showing the forward style of the vintage, the 2014 Chateauneuf du Pape (80% Grenache, 20% Mourvédre) comes mostly from terroirs in the northern part of the appellation, and was aged 80% in barrel and 20% in concrete tank. Its healthy ruby color is followed by complex notes of potpourri, dried flowers, black raspberries and spice-box. Medium to full-bodied, elegant with fine tannin and lots of Proven?al charm, it will drink nicely on release and have a decade or so of overall longevity.
