Reflective of the great 2007 vintage. Nose has dark fruit and grenache richness blended with a little toast from oak aging. Mouth coating with lots of flavors fighting for dominance. Finish is soft, round, a little dusty to let you know it's Chateauneuf-du-pape. The finish is lingering and strikes a balance with strength and refreshing zip. Enjoy now or for the next 5-7 years with braised meats, bleu cheese, and game.
