Dominated by Grenache (from primarily young vines), the medium-bodied, elegant 2008 Chateauneuf du Pape Terroir reveals classic aromas of kirsch liqueur, licorice, lavender and tobacco leaf. A strong effort in this challenging vintage, it is performing even better this year than it did prior to bottling - always a good sign. Consume it over the next 5-6 years. Young, talented, committed Julien Barot is quickly building a reputation for producing brilliant wines at Domaine La Barroche. Only two Chateauneuf du Papes were produced in 2008.Importer: The Sorting Table, LLC, Napa, CA; tel. (415) 491-4724
