The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Tradition is showing nicely, mingling vivid aromas of rose water, raspberry, strawberry, dried herbs and mint. Medium to full-bodied, layered and refined, this is a delicious entry-level red Châteauneuf-du-Pape with a bright finish. It has the potential to improve with bottle aging.

Leading off the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Tradition reveals a healthy semi-opaque color as well as a spicy, perfumed bouquet of wild strawberries, framboise, savory flowers, and hints of garrigue. It's elegant, medium-bodied, has a supple, layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length. It's another finesse-driven, seamless, beautifully layered 2021 that readers will love to drink any time over the coming decade.
