Wine Cellar Insider: 92 points

“Rich and supple, with layers of sweet, ripe, juicy, red plums, cherries and kirsch, the wine is silky, fresh, juicy and lively, with length and sweetness in the spicy finish. The wine was made from a blend of 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Mourvedre and 10% Cinsault. In time, this could be even better when it all comes together.” – Jeff Leve

“The 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Château Cabrieres is the finest wine I’ve tasted from this estate in some time. Based on 50% Grenache, 20% Each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, and the balance Cinsault, it offers terrific notes of black cherries, dried earth, garrigue, and graphite to go with a full-bodied, rounded, yet surprisingly finesse-driven style on the palate. It will certainly be outstanding and could be a real blockbuster once in bottle.” – Jeb Dunnuck

A blend of 50% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape is a full-bodied, lush and creamy expression of the appellation. Plum and cola notes pick up complex hints of allspice and clove, while remaining supple and easy to drink. Drink dates 2018 to 2025.” – Joe Czerwinski
