silver reflections

and it shows in its ripe softness

A blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and equal parts Petit Verdot and Merlot

The Semillon was ready before the Chenin this year

but the wine is full of flavor and offers plenty of complexity and power on the palate

Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Reservee, Rhone, France 2012 500ml Le Ragnaie silver reflectionsOne of my favorite wines, the 2012 Chteauneuf du Pape Cuvee Rserve is a classic. Beautiful on the nose, with notions of ground pepper, wild herbs, minerality and smoked plum and dark fruit, its medium to full bodied, nicely concentrated and has plenty of tannin that comes through on the finish. 94 Pts Wine Advocate
