The 2013 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from La Bastide Saint Dominique is an outstanding effort from winemaker Eric Bonnet. This blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault delivers aromas of dark cherries and plums are accompanied by spices, pepper and lavender notes. On the palate this is beautifully textured, showing wonderful overall balance and finesse with gorgeous fresh finish. I only expect this to improve as its develops some more characteristics with age.
