this côtes du rhône, from a plot of vines located just outside châteauneuf-du-pape, is a terrific achievement in a challenging vintage. hints of garrigue, black olive and cocoa add nuance to the ample black cherry fruit, while the finish of this full-bodied wine shows enough grip and astringency to warrant short-term cellaring. drink 2019–2025.
