Dominated by dark fruit—plums and blackberries—Fortia's 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve is 85% Syrah and 15% Mourvèdre. As one of the rare CdPs that doesn't include any Grenache, it stands out as being different even in a blind tasting, even if I didn't give any thought to which wine it was at the time. Full-bodied, rich and velvety in the mouth, it finishes long and tannic, but ripe. Give it a few years in the cellar before cracking a bottle.
