2016 Colombis Chateauneuf-du-Pape

The 100% Grenache 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Colombis is sourced from three different lieux-dits, each of which has sandy soils. In addition, the vines are all at least 60 years old. Matured in demi-muids, this beautiful wine features enthralling aromas of crushed stone, rose petals and ripe raspberries. Full-bodied and concentrated, the texture comes across as something weightless yet between silk and velvet, laced with exotic spices and lingering for minutes on the finish. It`s another stunning example of Grenache from sand terroirs, and it`s actually underpriced relative to its quality. Grab it while you can! 98 points
