Occasional wine note
This is a brilliant Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It's a bit bigger than most of the other wines we carry from the region, probably coming from the significant amount of Mourvèdre in the blend. Great color, waves of ripe dark fruits, baking spices, licorice, and earthy undertones come together brilliantly. This is a fantastic specimen.
What experts say about this wine

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Renaissance is a bigger, richer wine based off 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre. Deep ruby/purple-hued, it has rock star purity in its cassis and ripe blackberry fruits as well as spicy oak, roasted meats, toasted spice, and chocolate aromas and flavors. A more elegant, polished wine than usual, it already has some up-front appeal. It's going to integrate its oak élevage with 2-4 years of bottle age and should have 10-15 years of prime drinking thereafter. The purity and texture here are spot on.

Wine Spectator
Dark and winey, with delicious waves of cassis, raspberry paste and plum puree coursing through, laced with licorice and tar notes that help extend the finish. Late flashes of singed anise, bitters and wood spice add an alluring echo.
