Lots of spice, garrigue, orange rind, and black raspberry-like fruits emerge from the 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Héritages, which is a partially destemmed blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault. It’s medium to full-bodied and has the supple, seamless style of the vintage front and center as well as terrific balance and tannin development.
Score: 91-94 points -- Jen Dunnock, jebdunnock.com, 2018
