2014 Clos Saint Michel Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Reservee

The 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Réservée is a blend of 40% Grenache and 30% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre that will see 12 months in 225-liter and 300-liter barrels. It offers up lots of peppery herbs, forest floor, leather and sweet berry fruits in its medium-bodied, nicely textured, moderately concentrated style. It has outstanding potential and will have 10-12 years of longevity.
