 Tasted by WineGuyX on 3/13/2024 & rated 92 points: Beautiful nose of baked black cherries and herbs de Provence with some spring flowers. This really shows the beauty and power of the 2010 vintage. This is an entry level CdP that doesn't seem particularly age-worthy, but here we are and this is just excellent. Med-full bodied, this coats the palate with sweet black cherry, cough syrup (in a good way) and more garden herbs. Bright acidity and moderate tannins, this is still fresh as a daisy and shows no signs of advanced age. Drink now-2028 92 (97 views)
 Tasted by WineGuyX on 6/29/2017 & rated 91 points: Excellent nose of roasted black cherries and grilled herb switches with hints of grilling meat juices. Medium-Full bodied, rich and quite dense. Like all 2010 CdPs, this has a fantastic structure with good quality (and amount of) tannin and bright acidity. Absolutely delicious, this is nearing full maturity but may open and add complexity with another year or two in the cellar. Fantastic example of entry level 2010 Chateauneuf. Drink 2017-2023+ 91 (2703 views)
 Tasted by PatrikW on 5/7/2017 & rated 86 points: Fruity, ripe cherries, nice tannins. Good ChNdP, nice balance. Ready to drink. (2344 views)
 Tasted by jeffreylubowski on 12/30/2014 & rated 89 points: Very typical cdp. Enjoyable. Very grenache based. Not traditional but not modern. Dark cherry. Spice. Alcohol. Worth buying at $40. Needs a year. (4430 views)
 Tasted by Woodbridge Brad on 11/13/2014 & rated 86 points: More than commercial but not very distinct. Good color with some spice but very modest flavors, a decent acid balance, and a long red wine finish without heat despite the 15% alcohol. Completely evolved, the flavors are more Syrah then Grenache. A solid but not great wine. (3966 views)
 Tasted by Jeff Leve on 5/29/2013 & rated 89 points: Spicy berries, kirsch, garrigue and lush textures are the hallmarks of this open wine. The finish ends with fresh, sweet, red cherries. (5365 views)

Red 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
