94pts Jeb Dunnuck
Looking at the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape, it's a blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 15% Mourvedre from all the estate's holdings. Ruby/plum-hued, with a great nose of black raspberries, new saddle leather, Provençal herbs, and Asian spices, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless, elegant, layered mouthfeel, perfect balance, and a great finish. It might be one of the finest examples of the base cuvée I've tasted.
94pts James Suckling
A harmonious and well-made Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Notes of red berries, dried thyme, bay leaves, mild spices and hints of black olives. Full-bodied with finely grained tannins. Well-balanced and layered with a velvety touch on the palate and a generous and focused long finish.
92pts Wine Spectator
Broad and rich in feel, with warmed cassis and cherry puree notes gliding through, laced with sandalwood, red tea and warm stone accents. A focused and steady wine that opens slowly in the glass. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault.
Winemaker Notes
Offering a complex nose with hints of crushed raspberry, licorice and graphite. The mouth is round with an excellent balance and a nice finish.
