Jeb Dunnuck "The 2017 Rasteau Brunel De La Gardine is fabulous all the way and is going to compete with the top wines in the appellation. Based on 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah brought up all in tank, this medium to full-bodied, pure, concentrated effort boasts a deep purple color as well as notes of blackberries, ground pepper, crushed flowers, and violets....
The 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc gives up clean, crisp notes of citrus blossom, lime and pear, medium-bodied richness, vibrant acidity and an impeccably balanced style on the palate.

This big,...
Jeb Dunnuck "The more modern-styled 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Gaston Philippe gives up more cassis, smoky oak, graphite, and charred earth aromas and flavors. More spice and floral notes develop with time in the glass, it's full-bodied, powerful, and concentrated, with sweet tannin and a great finish. It's not for traditionalists out there but is a...
