The basic 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape, a blend of 90% Grenache and the rest Syrah and Mourvedre aged in demi-muids and smaller barrels, exhibits plenty of blueberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with strawberries, cherries, garrigue, licorice and spice box. It is a medium to full-bodied, delicious, up-front Chateauneuf to drink during its first decade of life. 87-89 points
