Critical Acclaim
WE 93
Wine Enthusiast
This bright, youthful blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre spotlights succulent raspberry and red-cherry flavors. Matured primarily in tank and with no new oak influences, it’s a plummy, richly concentrated wine shaded by hints of crushed stone, peppercorn and anise. Fine-grained but gripping tannin's are approachable now but will keep things upright through 2028 at least.

Crisp green-apple and pear flavors introduce this Grenache Blanc-dominant blend augmented by 10% each of Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc. Matured entirely in stainless steel, it's moderately full bodied but fresh, accented by chamomile, crushed stone and lime. Refreshing young, the wine should gain depth as it improves through 2030.

Made in a slightly fresher style, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Hauts de Barville Blanc has pretty citrus, lemon blossom, and floral aromatics to go with a medium-bodied, vibrant, clean and nicely balanced style on the palate. It's another terrific white in the lineup that is going to evolve nicely for 4-6 years.
