2010 E. Guigal Ch̢teauneuf-du-Pape this may be my top

this may be my top pick for the best Sauvignon Blanc in the store at this price

carried by a creamy

black olives and sage follow through to a full body

but with superb grip on the finish

It begs for good company and a summer evening spent outside just as the cool night sets in

2010 E. Guigal Ch̢teauneuf-du-Pape this may be my topA stunning effort and showing the class of the vintage, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape is comprised of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre that spent 24 months in foudre prior to bottling. Rich, textured and medium to full bodied, with ample black cherry, olive tapenade and subtle meatiness, this traditional effort stays pure and lively, with fine tannin emerging on the finish. (JD)
