title: Château La Nerthe 2008 Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
description: La Nerthe's late-ripening Mourvèdre typically shines the brightest in warm vintages, which 2008 was not. The result is a leathery, peppery wine with rather crisp, cherry-inflected fruit. Drink it over the next several years.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
