(WA91-94 points) The 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Vendange checks in as a blend of 80% Grenache and 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre that was raised mostly in concrete tanks, with just 10% in barrel. Plums, blackberries, licorice, hints of pepper and smoked herbs all emerge from this full-bodied, fruit forward, beautifully textured Châteauneuf du Pape that has solid underlying structure. It will keep for 10-15 years. - Jeb Dunnuck
