Famille Perrin 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape "Les Sinards" Rouge 750ml

Dark, glistening ruby. Pungent red/blue fruits, licorice, succulent herbs and cola on the perfumed nose. Velvety and broad on entry, offering juicy cherry preserve and blueberry flavors that tighten up and turn spicier with air. Fine-grained tannins lend shape to a long, pliant finish that features a building floral note. Much of the fruit for this wine came from young Grenache vines at Château de Beaucastel.
