My #9, Group's #10 (120 pts). Tastes blind. (504 views) | | | Tasted by Hanover on 7/12/2014 & rated 91 points: Dark color to the edge, significant sediment, decanted 1 hour, berry fruit in nose and taste, appealing medium-length finish. (2012 views) | | | Tasted by europat55 on 2/10/2013 & rated 90 points: 2004 Chateauneufs du Pape (Rich and Peggy's House): Meaty nose with some hints of sweetness. Tasty palate.
My #3, Group's #5 (67 pts). Tasted blind (2785 views) | | | Tasted by rschoemehl on 5/13/2011 & rated 90 points: Seemless. Well made. (2867 views) | | | Tasted by ecnemergut on 8/2/2009 & rated 93 points: As before: a remarkable wine for under $30! (2946 views) | | | Tasted by ecnemergut on 5/21/2009 & rated 93 points: Just an outstanding pop and pour! Lighter red than I was expecting. Pleasant berry/spice nose. Incredible palat with layer upon layer of cherry and raspberry. Medium full on the palate with a nice mouthfeel. An oustanding QPR for $30. (2662 views) | | | Tasted by cdlater on 3/8/2007: This bottle was unremarkable compared with my recollections of it from when it first arrived. The fruit is short, single-dimensional, clipped. Alcohol dominates. It has crisp acidity, though. All this makes me think this wine may just be fighting acne right now, but it strikes me as only a modest value at the moment. All that being said, I very much like this estate and its winemakers, so perhaps I should come back in a year or two to see what this wine is doing. (2030 views) | | | Tasted by jp_howell on 2/24/2007 & rated 92 points: Very well balanced, amazing old world style. Let breathe - it opened beautifully. Very complex - earthy, dark spicy fruits, hints of chocolate and oak. (1926 views) | | | Tasted by danstrings on 1/13/2007 & rated 85 points: Bistro Elan PA--Disappointing. Tight and earthy (in a not so good way) on the nose, drying and acidic on the palate. Some silkiness and fruit there, yes... but overall leaning toward vegetal/drying... (1473 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Andersen on 10/5/2006: Third time I've had the '04 (see previous TNs). $30 retail, before discount. Once again, this shows an oxidative element and lacks freshness. In-line with previous TNs. (1652 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Andersen on 8/31/2006: Showed much better than a bottle at the end of May (see TN). That said, there is still an underlying oxidative quality to this that I find slightly off-putting. Notes of prune liquor; dark, plummy fruit; tobacco. $30 full retail. (1726 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Andersen on 5/1/2006: $29.99 full retail. Reluctant nose of sweet red fruit, faint garrigue/spice and alcohol. Nowhere near as much happening aromatically, compared to the 2003 Vieux Mas des Papes Chateauneuf (see TN), and the 2003 Santa Duc Gigondas, tasted side by side. On the palate it's slightly hot, with almost prickly, raspy fruit; somewhat granular, with some spice, and a very faint oxidative/prune element. Far less fruit, and more angular than the 2003 Vieux Mas des Papes. The 2003 Santa Duc Gigondas was the biggest, most structured wine of the three. (1883 views) |

Article about ProducerRed Rhone Blend Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.

"As I have written many times in the past, the sweet spot for drinking Châteauneuf du Papes is usually the first 5-6 years after the vintage. Then they seem to go through an adolescent, awkward, and sometimes dormant stage, only to re-emerge around year 10-12, where the majority of wines are often fully mature. The best of them will continue to hold on to life (but rarely improving) beyond 15-20 years. It is only the exceptional Châteauneuf du Papes that will evolve for 20-25+ years, and those are indeed a rarity. However, things may be improving dramatically in terms of the longevity of Châteauneuf du Pape, although Grenache-dominated wines, the vast majority of wines produced in the appellation, are wines that do not have the polyphenol (extract and tannin) content of top Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots, or Syrah-based wines. Nevertheless, the younger generation in Châteauneuf du Pape has taken seriously the farming in the vineyards. There are more organic and biodynamically run vineyards here than in any other appellation of France. The yields, which were already low, are even lower today (20-35 hectoliters per hectare), and of course, the proliferation of top luxury and/or old-vine cuvées gives a significant boost to the number of wines that will evolve past 25 or 30 years. The advantage of these wines is their broad window of drinkability." - Robert Parker
