2015 La Bastide Saint-Dominique Les Hesperides ( Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Dark in color, there is real intensity here. But you also find all the silky textures and freshness you need. The wine is full bodied, powerful and packed with soft, spicy, thyme and pepper infused berries from start to finish. Great style of wine here. The wine was made with a blend of 50% Grenache and 50% Mourvedre.

2015 La Bastide Saint-Dominique Les Secrets de Pignan ( Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Produced from 100% old vine Grenache, this blasts off with its nose of molten licorice and kirsch. Lush, supple textured fruits with pepper, herbs and juicy red berries on the palate that do not want to quit. The wine has the stuffing and tannins to age and develop nicely.
