title: Delas Frères 2009 Haute Pierre Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
description: At only 10% Syrah, this is quite different in composition from most of Delas's wines. The rest is Grenache, and in 2009 the result is slightly pruny, with touches of coffee, chocolate and Christmas spice. It's full bodied and creamy in texture without being soft, thanks to the crisp acids and silky tannins on the finish. Drink it over the next few years.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Haute Pierre
