One can’t speak highly enough of the efforts by proprietress Isabel Ferrando, who has resurrected this well-known estate in Chateauneuf du Pape. This is a beautifully made wine that merits serious attention. The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape boasts a dark ruby/purple color and a broad creamy black cherry and cassis nose intermixed with some licorice and herbes de Provence. Opulent, up-front, lush, and pure, it is ideal for drinking over the next decade. Importer: Daniel Johnnes Wines, New York, NY; tel. (212) 625-2505
