Staff Pick Notes

These guys obviously have the secret formula that allows them to create an organically produced, relatively young Châteauneuf-du-Pape that’s so, so ready to go right out of the bottle tonight and one you just know is going to go on to be even greater with time. And they did it for forty bucks! What? Which also means that if you have always wanted to try a Châteauneuf-du-Pape yet had concern over the sticker price, well, here’s one to get you started in style without worries. Fresh off the hearth strawberry rhubarb pie lights up the senses, followed by a lush palate of black fruits, grippy tannins, and a finish that says “more, please!”. A bold stick-to-your-ribs expression of 80/20 Grenache/Syrah that really delivers. Decant or and/or use the biggest glasses you have and take your time; this wine wants to take you on a journey, so let it!

Glossary

Grenache

The Grenache grape (a.k.a. Grenache Noir) produces relatively pale, fruity red wines that often stop just short of sweetness.

The distinguished Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas appellations are both characterized by significant percentages of Grenache, while in Tavel and Lirac the grape is used to make...

Rhône

Prestige in the north, value in the south: that’s the quick version of the Rhône story. Southern village appellations produce a dizzying stylistic range of delicious wines, while the prices for northern “trophy” bottles can be dizzyingly high. If you like smoky, leathery, earthy, macho red wines, however, the wines of the northern Rhône are well worth it. Prestigious northern Rhône appellations include Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, and St.-Joseph. In the southern Rhône, look to the village...

Syrah

We'd like to clear this up once and for all: the Shiraz grape is genetically identical to Syrah. Australian winemakers put "Shiraz" on the map (and, many would argue, vice versa), and the term is now used throughout much of the New World. Let it never be said, however, that Shiraz and Syrah are the same thing: the region in which the grape is grown determines much about the flavor of the wine it will produce. Typically, New World Shiraz yields bigger, fruitier wines than the the peppery Syrahs...
