Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Châteauneuf Blend - Châtaurneuf-du-Pape, FR - 16
 
The flavors are intricate, and unique, one noticeable factor I this wine is an inorganic minerality of drying cement, which I think is a beautiful complexity and personally really love. Upon opening the bottle wafting fresh red cherry and anise are noticeable, followed by an incredible black pepper essence and cinnamon. Upon tasting, one is greeted by similar aromatic of lavender and cedar, as well as a nice black fruit and leather characteristic. On the finish, there’s a bit of potpourri and red apple, to compliment the cherry fruit.
