Product Overview
94 Points, "Editors' Choice" - Wine Enthusiast
"Matured primarily in stainless steel, this fresh-fruited red is packed with summer-sweet blackberry and plum goodness edged by salty, smoky minerality. A Grenache-dominant blend sourced from each of de Nalys' three plots, it's an immediate and hedonistic yet soulful wine best enjoyed now to 2026." -ALI, 10/1/21
93 Points - Wine Spectator
"A silky yet rich and persistent offering, with leading red tea notes, mulled cherry and raspberry fruit at the core and a long, subtle mineral edge curling around the perfumed finish. Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Muscardin, Counoise and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2032. 800 cases imported." -JM, 2021

"Saturated ruby. Ripe, spice- and smoke-accented aromas of black raspberry, cherry cola and garrigue on the assertively perfumed nose. Juicy red and dark berry flavors are braced by a spine of smoky minerality and pick up licorice and cured meat nuances with aeration. Concentrated but lively, with no rough edges. A floral quality emerges on the persistent finish, which features even tannins that lend shape and gentle grip." -JR, Aug/2021

"Yields at Nalys were down by 60%, but the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Saintes Pierres is a solid effort, offering up slightly herbal and strawberry notes on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, it's on the crisp side but fruit-forward and relatively supple. Drink it over the next decade." -JC, 5/5/22
