title: Lavau 2013 Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
description: This Rhône-based négociant brand offers a range of appellations at reasonable prices. The 2013 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is an open-knit, full-bodied wine that frames mulberry, plum and black cherry fruit with cedar and vanilla shadings. Fruit-driven, yet crisp on the finish, it should drink well for the next seven or so years.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
