Score 86/100 · Drink 2008-2012, Robert Parker, Aug 2008
The lightweight 2005 La Pialade (essentially a blend of everything that is culled out from their other cuvees of Rayas and Fonsalette) is a soft, bistro-styled wine showing plum and cherry notes but little depth or complexity. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel. (415) 883-0400

About the producer

Chateau Rayas
Ch. Rayas is a cult name in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wines – pure, silken expressions of Grenache with distinctive perfume – are revered for their singularity and fiercely collected. Made by Emmanuel Reynaud and renowned for their ageability, they have become some of the region's most sought-after.
