2017 Sainte Pierres de Nalys Chateauneuf du Pape 6pk

92 Points – Jeb Dunnuck
Coming from tiny yields (the estate was down 40% in 2017), the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Saintes Pierres De Nalys offers a ripe, medium to full-bodied, balanced style as well as lots of classic dark berry fruits, licorice, garrigue, and peppery goodness. Balanced, with a great core of fruit, it’s a softer, more forward, charming wine than the grand vin and is ideal for drinking over the coming decade.
92 Points – Vinous
Glistening ruby. Spice-accented dark berries and cherry on the nose, along with suggestions of garrigue and smoky minerals. Juicy blackberry, cherry cola and lavender flavors provide very good palate coverage and turn spicier with air. The floral note carries through a clinging, energetic finish shaped by smooth, well-knit tannins.
