Clos Saint Michel 2009 Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)

Country: France /
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Clos Saint Michel / Châteauneuf-du-Pape

This is a solid example of entry-level Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A cherry note is accented by hints of garrigue and chocolate, and the wine is richly textured, ripe and full bodied. Drink this blend of 40% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 30% Mourvèdre over the next several years.
