title: Château La Nerthe 2013 Cuvée des Cadettes Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
description: Purists will no doubt object to this wine's fine patina of sophisticated, cedary oak, but there's plenty of high-quality fruit to back it up. Incorporating unusual proportions of 44% Grenache, 33% Mourvèdre and 23% Syrah, the fruit is ripe and lush, velvety-supple and medium to full in weight, without any sense of heaviness. Drink 2020–2030.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
