"The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape is deep ruby/purple incolor, opulent, full-bodied, and rich, with notes of smoke, blackberry, cassis, garrigue, and pepper as well as chocolate. It is deep, full-bodied, with sweet tannin, moderate acidity, and superb precision and overall balance. Accessible for a 2005, it can be drunk during its first 10-12 years of life. 92 points" Robert Parker

A great value wine that offers a lot of complexity and flavor .

Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault,and Grenache grapes make up this excellent wine. One of the best values out there that can be light but comlex at the same time.

"Soft and open-textured, offering pretty pear and grapefruit flavors. Finishes gently. Drink now through 2009. 25,000 cases imported. 87 points" Wine Spectator
