The 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape checks in as a concrete-tank-aged blend of 90% Grenache and 5% each of Syrah and Mourvedre. It offers up classic garrigue, peppery spice and mulled berry fruit to go with a medium-bodied, soft, supple and straightforward profile. There’s not much complexity or depth here, but it stays balanced and delicious. Enjoy it over the coming 3-4 years.
