Domaine de Cristia Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France 2020 Momo Pale straw yellow colorLooking better than it did from tank, Cristina's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape is ripe and rounded, with ample amounts of black cherries and plums, an exception to the overall red fruited nature of the vintage. Full bodied, creamy and lush, with a lingering, silky finish, this 85 15 blend of Grenache and Syrah should drink well for up to a decade. 92 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
