A step up in terms of richness and depth, yet still playing in that 2011 front-loaded style, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape The Chato9 dishes out plenty of sweet berry fruit, violets and garrigue to go with a medium-bodied feel on the palate. Nicely concentrated through the mid-palate, with loads of fruit and texture, this solid effort should drink nicely through 2021. Drink now-2021. This estate offers up plenty of easygoing, fruit-loaded efforts that have solid Southern Rhone character. Importer: Grape Expectations, Raleigh, NC ; tel. (919) 781-1655
