title: Domaine du Pegau 2009 Cuvée Réservée Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
description: Prices for this estate's wines have skyrocketed, but there is no doubting the quality in the bottle. The 2009 Cuvée Réservée is a huge wine, overflowing with intense black cherry and plum flavors to the point of seeming a bit sweet. Yet it's all framed by strong yet softly dusty tannins that should see it age well for at least 15 years.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Cuvée Réservée
