Château Fortia Cuvée du Baron 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is produced from sustainably-grown Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes from the Rhône wine region. Wow! Spicy, juicy, rich and intense with red berry compote, pink and blue florals, crushed raspberry vibrant on the palate. Tannins are fine and velvety.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape food pairings: hearty meat dishes, barbecued chicken, char-grilled lamb.
