Product Overview
93 Points - Vinous
"Vinified from certified organic grapes and checking in at 15.5% alcohol, the 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is gorgeous. Licorice, strawberry jam, raspberry, red cherry and meaty components are all nicely delineated. Touching the palate with loads of concentration and a juicy fruit core, the 2022 possesses a firm tannic structure, so I’d give it at least three more years in bottle. It was aged for 15 months in a combination of concrete tanks (90%) and new oak barriques (10%)." -NG, Jun/2024
92 Points - Wine Spectator
"A sweet and ripe version, with a warm stream of crushed cherry and plum on a lush palate. Tobacco leaf brings in a gentle-edged earthiness, and a polish of toasty oak will further integrate with a bit more time in the cellar. Bitter cherry pit brings a fine point to the warm, lush finish, framed by polished tannins. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Counoise. Best from 2026 through 2038. 8,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported." -KB, 1/6/25

"Macerated for 30 days, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape from Domaine de la Solitude, a blend of 65% Grenache Noir, 20% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault and 5% Counoise, offers up aromas of dark cherries, rose, violets, dark wild berries and licorice. Medium-bodied, round and enveloping, it's perfectly juicy with a sappy mid-palate, concluding with a fresh, penetrating finish. This is a classic, elegant Châteauneuf-du-Pape, partly destemmed and matured for 15 months in concrete tanks (90%) and the rest in new barrels." -YC, 9/26/24
