Les Allies Chateauneuf du Pape

A minty vein of black-cherry menthol mingles into plum and blackberry preserve in this full-bodied, feathery red. A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre and 20% Syrah, it offers ripe, ruddy black-fruit flavors shaded by hints of earth, tobacco and allspice as well as soft, velvet tannins. Ready now, the wine should hold through 2026.
