Tasting notes
Leading off the 2015s from bottle, the 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a pretty, medium to full-bodied, forward effort that gives up lots of cherries, plum, spice and garrigue aromatics. This front-end loaded beauty has sweet tannin and is already hard to resist. Drink it through 2025.

A blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 15% Mourvèdre, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape is a plush, silky wine that can be consumed over its first ten years of life. Cherry and cola notes finish with a touch of warmth.
Vivid ruby. Powerful mineral- and spice-accented red fruit liqueur aromas show impressive clarity and pick up a sexy floral nuance as the wine opens up. Gently sweet, sappy and focused, offering palate-coating raspberry and cherry compote flavors, along with hints of succulent herbs and candied flowers. Rich, in the style of the vintage, yet vibrant as well. Finishes on a juicy note, displaying subtle tannins and strong, spice-tinged persistence.
