Rippling, ripe fruit counteracts deep mineral tones in this bold, brooding wine. Black plum and berry notes are spiced with anise and vanilla, but also shades of dried sage, thyme and earth. It's a concentrated red with a slightly drying, emery-board finish.

Fresh and rounded, with a rather ebullient core of cassis, plum sauce and melted licorice flavors driving along, backed by notes of warm fruitcake and fig preserves. Frankly fruit-driven, showing enough freshness to stay balanced and focused. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault. Drink now through 2027. 3,000 cases made. - JM

Medium bodied, spicy, red berries, kirsch and herbs pop right up. Fresh and lively, with a kick from all the juicy, peppery kirsch which is there to round out the finish.

The 2015 Chateauneuf-du-Pape (60% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre and 10% Cinsault) offers a fresh, classic and elegant style reminiscent of the 2004. Black cherries, leafy herbs, and pepper all emerge from this clean, classic, old-school beauty that has tons of charm.
