Wine Review: This opaque and very dark purple colored Chateauneuf du Pape opens with a boysenberry and plum bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium to full bodied, balanced, and very fruit forward. The flavor profile is ripe black raspberry with notes of black pepper and with hints of old oak and plum. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins are tingly and rather sticky and lengthy. This wine is food friendly and would pair well with a marbled ribeye. Enjoy – Ken
