Still strong fruit, but structure leads the way. Still has a few years at its peak. (785 views) | | | Tasted by whudock on 8/20/2020 & rated 90 points: good depth and balance. More structured than fruit forward. (811 views) | | | Tasted by Tim and Bonnie on 5/4/2016 & rated 90 points: In a good spot for drinking now. Terrific with grilled steak (2782 views) | | | Tasted by Merky_Waters on 8/10/2014 & rated 91 points: 90-91
$30 or under? wow! You high end CdP lovers might find this, "thin," but in it's own right, it's delicious and deserving for the price.
15% abv rears it's head on the nose but give it some time and you have a bright velvety mouth with tannins that evaporate off the tongue leaving a dry tea like finish.
medium body. red cherry, ripe raspberry, and even a hint of blueberry. i want to kick myself for saying it, but fresh Tennis Ball on the nose and palate.
Salty Bacon. juniper.
not gamey or overly old world, but this is a delicious entry level, though maybe not the most characteristic CdP. (3761 views) | | | Tasted by essconsults on 5/8/2014 & rated 85 points: Made up, innocuous oaky, thin, some bouquet, no palate, with drying out tannin to boot. I can believe that RP gave this a 91, since he has pretty much lost it, but can't believe the other reviewers like this. If this is a 92 the top CDPs are 250 point wines! (3800 views) | | | Tasted by Crunge on 3/8/2014 & rated 92 points: A very good wine. Rich grenache flavor full of red and black berries with a hint of spice. Oddly, it wasn't quite as good the second day (sealed with a Vacu Vin overnight.) (3635 views) | | | Tasted by Tim and Bonnie on 3/2/2014 & rated 92 points: Can't add anything to Jeff Leve's review, he nailed it. Bonnie really enjoyed this wine, as did I. (3565 views) | | | Tasted by AlphaMikeFoxtrot on 1/20/2014 & rated 85 points: Cheap CdP. Intense underripe fruits. Some smoke/ash (289 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 5/31/2013 & rated 92 points: Silky, soft, elegant and refined, the wine is polished, fresh, round and ripe, plus it’s already delivering much of its charms.

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
