September 3, 2021 - Deep ruby in color and luscious from the get-go, this blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault flaunts aromas of dark bramble fruits, dried cranberries, mulling spices, Provençal herbs and white pepper. Medium-to-full-bodied, freshly acidic and with nicely integrated alcohol (14.5%), it delivers flavors mirroring the nose. The oak and tannins are well-woven and the middle palate stays solid. Lengthy and smooth on the back end, this is a hedonistic Châteauneuf that is a reflection of Santa Duc's commitment to quality. Enjoy it throughout the decade. Drink now-2030.
