Leading off and just reviewed last year (I’m always happy to retaste), the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Les Gallimardes is gorgeous in the vintage and has a sexy, perfumed and hedonistic style. Loaded with black raspberry, cassis, and creamy licorice, along with background garrigue and lavender, it is full-bodied, up-front and packed with fruit. It’s a total charmer to drink in its first 10-12 years of life. - Jeb Dunnuck
