An excitingly fruity wine, made from 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah grapes just outside the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation in Courthezon. It is a smoky, complex wine loaded with warm raspberry fruit, showing many of the best attributes of Chateauneuf du Pape. It is ready for current drinking and represents one of the best values from the southern Rhone. The fruit was perfect throughout the harvest period, and each cepage was picked at optimum maturity. The grapes were all hand- picked and then transported to the winery in small boxes so as not to damage the fruit. 2009 89pts Wine Spectator.
