"Looking at the 2013s from barrel, the 2013 Cuvée Des Deux Soeurs is a blend of roughly 80% Grenache and the rest Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault. Pretty, with leafy herbs, violets, dried spices and black raspberry style fruit, this medium to full-bodied, textured and rich 2013 has fantastic purity of fruit and sweet tannin that emerges on the finish. It should be approachable on release, given the fruit quality and texture, yet also age gracefully."

"The 100% Grenache Chateauneuf du Pape 2015 Le Lien is another smokin'good wine from this estate. About as Provencal as the come, with board, sexy, layered notes of caramelized black cherries,
strawberries, toasted spice and garrigue, it has full-bodied richness and a heady finish. It should drink nicely on release and keep for 10-15 years".

"The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Feminessance is a drop dead gorgeous effort that’s a blend of mostly Grenache, with a smaller component of Syrah, that’s aged in smaller oak barrels. Deeply colored,
with full-bodied richness and depth, this layered, serious 2015 offers up creamy raspberry, cassis, licorice, vanilla and hints of white chocolate to go with a fresh, balanced profile.

"Ruby-red. Sexy red berry liqueur and floral pastille aromas accented by peppery spice and mineral elements. Taut, racy and focused on the palate, offering zesty redcurrant and raspberry flavors but
no rough edges. Juicy and approachable Châteauneuf with strong finishing thrust, silky tannins and enticing lingering sweetness."
