Saintes Pierre de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020

The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Saintes Pierres De Nalys is terrific, with a spicy, complex, layered style as well as medium-bodied richness and depth on the palate. Based on 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and the rest Mourvedre, Muscardin, Cinsault, Terret Noir, Vaccarese, and Counoise, it has ripe red and black fruits, notes of spice box, peppery garrigue, and chalky minerality, as well as supple tannins and a great finish. [Drink: 2024-2035.] Score – 94. (jebdunnuck.com, Nov. 11, 2022)
