Clos des Papes

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2023

A delicious Grenache based blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and entertaining.

A great vintage in Châteauneuf-du-Pape that will show itself in the future.

Still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is always delicious.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and 5% local varieties. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months. Unfiltered and unfined.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$120.

The last several years this producer’s wines have generally been around 15.5%. Glad to see this one coming in under 15%. I will look for it.

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1998

@Doug Powers as promised . Dry leaves and plums on the nose. In the mouth spices, cherry , earth and good acid . Certainly the magnum format kept this alive. However for me it had not become complex and had a very clipped finish. — 11 days ago

@Ira Schwartz, I have recently (last 3-4 months) had 750-ml bottles of the 1999 and 2000 VT that, were, frankly disappointing compared to the VT bottles I purchased in the 1980s. They used to be 30-40 year wines that developed slowly in the cellar, those 1999/2000 bottles were fully mature and one bottle was past it. All my VT purchases were from Kermit Lynch, so I don’t really know what changed?

Scout's Honor Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend 2024

Big and juicy. Nice acidity and tannin to give it structure. Jammy and cooked blue and purple fruits with cocoa and violet. Paired beautifully with chimichurri smoked steak and veggies. — a month ago

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

L'Hermitage Syrah 1988

Pains me to say this bottle was on its way out. Very dry cork and low fill. Not sure about storage. Completely tertiary with dried florals and meaty bacon and salami tones. Silky palate, but just missing a step. Came back to the glass thinking “maybe now, maybe this time,” and it wasn’t to be. Birth year. — 9 days ago

Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 1995

Found a few bottles of this Syrah-heavy CdR, by 1995 Guigal was making over 1 million bottles of this gem that I paid less than $10/bottle for on release, this bottle had 2-3 inches of ullage, suspect cork seemed glued into the bottle neck, yet fresh, crisp acidity, a little Brett, but great balance, medium-bodied, this wine will still evolve, really lovely, even though it’s still ultimately a CdR to drink on a Tuesday night with grilled sausage!! — 16 days ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2017

Excellent follow up to the classic 2016 Vintage. Blend of Mourvèdre (30%), Grenache (30%), Syrah (15%), Counoise (10%) and the balance (15%) made up of other approved CDP varietals led by Vaccarese’. Aromas of red and black fruit, garrigue, leather and earth. Flavors of black raspberries, currants and cherries, Asian spices, smoked meat and truffles. Long and lingering (slightly spicy) finish and beautiful balance. Full bodied and dense, but not overpowering. Fine grained tannins and amazing complexity. Great now, but there is another decade (or so) of aging potential. Just incredible. — a month ago

Relentless Napa Valley Syrah Petite Sirah 2022

Dark inky in color, with a beautiful pronounced nose.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Very fruity on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red and black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco, cola, coffee and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This delicious Syrah from Napa Valley is still very young, and needs 5 years in the bottle to mature properly, but already drinking beautifully. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Rich, extracted and fruit forward. Showing good balance and elegance.

I've had a few vintages of this wine before, and it is very consistent. A great sipping wine.

A blend of 90% Syrah with 10% Petite Sirah. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 20 months.

15.8% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$100.
