Open-knit, with a pretty mix of steeped plum and lightly mulled raspberry notes infused with anise and garrigue accents. A charming wine. WS

Black cherries and licorice notes mark the nose of this full-bodied, silky effort, which shows admirable concentration and an invigorating bit of peppery spice on the finish. WA

“Font du Vent pays proper homage to tradition in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This bottling is a master class in terroir for lovers of this legendary appellation.” Ian Cauble, Master Sommellier
