Description:	Jean-Luc Colombo, hailed as "the winemaking wizard of the Rhone Valley", specializes in producing wines that showcase the unique characteristics of the land in which they found their start. His Chateauneuf du Pape comes from an area of the region selected for its abundance of rolled river pebbles, providing ideal drainage and soil aeration. Forward, ripe and easy, with lots of grape, plum and cherry fruit backed by notes of sweet toast and spice. Nice juicy acidity frames the finish, while a hint of grilled thyme, rosemary and other herbs checks in at the very end. A powerful, full-bodied wine that can be consumed now with noted improvement over the next ten years. Pairs exceptionally well with game, beef stew or lamb dishes.
