Description
The reds of Ch�teauneuf-du-Pape can use up to 13 varieties, the most important being Grenache blended primarily with Cinsault, Mourv�dre and Syrah.

Tasting Notes
The 2017 Ch�teauneuf du Pape Cuv�e Tradition is a top effort for an entry-level wine. Bottled in March, it features peppery notes, dried spices and ripe cherries on the nose. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, it finishes long and intense, adding hints of salted licorice. It should drink well for at least a decade. Drink date: 2020-2030. Score - 92.
