Robert ParkerThe 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape is 80% Grenache, with the balance split between Mourvèdre and Syrah. Hints of tar appear upon opening, but subside and give way to plums, black cherries and hints of black olive and mocha. It's full-bodied and velvety in texture, showing plenty of muscle for a 2018 on the dusty finish.
Rhone red blend wines, originating from France's Rhone Valley, artfully combine Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes to create complex and balanced wines. These blends showcase a harmonious interplay of red fruit, spiciness, and earthy notes, with Grenache providing vibrant fruitiness, Syrah adding depth and pepperiness, and Mourvèdre contributing structure and complexity. The diverse terroir of the Rhone Valley results in a range of styles, from the approachable Côtes du Rhône to the robust Châteauneuf-du-Pape, highlighting the region's winemaking prowess and offering a captivating array of flavors.
