2022 Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge Southern Rhône France

Tasting Notes: Ripe black cherry, plum, and cassis are muscled with garrigue and cracked pepper aromas. On the palate, waves of black fruit meet polished tannins, fresh acidity, and graphite. The finish lingers with spice, earth, and a smoky mineral note.
