Chateauneuf du Pape Colombis Isabel Ferrando (Domaine de Saint-Prefert) 2017 (750ML)

97 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com: "Tasted out of bottle, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Colombis is a thrilling Grenache that offers both richness and elegance. Awesome notes of currant, blackberries, garrigue, and crushed flowers all flow to a full-bodied wine that has ultra-fine tannins, not a hard edge to be found, incredible purity, and a great, great finish. It's a riveting example of Grenache that can be drunk today or cellared for 10-15 years." 8/19 96-100 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com: "Almost 100% Grenache fermented with no destemming and aged in demi-muids, the 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Colombis might be a candidate for the wine of the vintage. This flamboyant, sexy, yet pure and polished barrel sample gives up a huge nose of ripe black fruits, licorice, Asian spices, chocolate, and a building sense of crushed rock and minerality. The tannin quality is first rate, it has a great mid-palate and beautiful balance. Don't miss it!" 8/18
