description: Right now, this wine tastes like a somewhat generic red wine--albeit one with excellent balance, fine oaking and impressive concentration and length. Cedary, vanilla notes from new oak barrels need some time to integrate with the rich black cherry fruit and allow the true flavors of Châteauneuf to shine. Drink 2008–2015.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Cuvée des Cadettes
