Review:

Clocking in at a demure 12% abv, this dainty Châteauneuf-du-Pape lacks the brawn of its 2015 peers. However, its delicate footprint and pristine black-cherry and plum flavors are refreshing, tinged by bramble, cinnamon and cedar. An elegant, spry wine that's approachable now, it should hold well through 2022. – Wine Enthusiast 90
