It's really hard to resist this wine's abundant cassis, red currant and strawberry fruit. There’s an interplay of restrained ripeness and gentle tannins. This is quite full-bodied, but the silky tannins and long, lively finish make it taste lighter than it really is. A cuvee based on grenache with a mix of other traditional varieties. Drink or hold.

(90-92 points) Coming 70% from estate vines, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Sinards is medium ruby-hued and offers red and black fruit, peppery garigue, and sweet violet-like aromas and flavors. It's nicely textured, medium to full-bodied, and is going to shine right out of the gate.

Crafted from young vines at Château de Beaucastel, complemented by two plots located in the center of the village, the 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Sinards is slightly peppery, revealing aromas of dark berries and spices. Medium- to full-bodied, gourmand and juicy, it’s fresh and lively despite its structured tannins, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. Composed mainly of Grenache Noir, this is a perfect introduction to the Perrin family’s universe.- Yohan Castaing
