title: Jean-Luc Colombo 2014 Les Bartavelles Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
description: Colombo is based in the northern Rhône, but ventured down to the south to make this wine, a blend of 45% Syrah, 35% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre. Leather, dark-skinned plums and mocha mark the palate, which is firmly tannic yet without much hidden richness. Drink it with rare meats over the short term.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Les Bartavelles
