Component #1, "from cay and galets deep, inky cherry and creme de framboise scents. Chewy dark fruit preserve flavors, with suave tannic grip and excellent persistence. Component #2: inky purple color. Powerful dark fruit aroma, with a strong olive undertone. Spicy cherry and plum flavors are framed by solid tannins, turning sweeter and more re-fruity on the finish. In final form this should be a knockout.

About the Producer
If there is one single wine in the appellation that signifies the true level of greatness possible in Chateauneuf du Pape, perhaps it’s Rayas. Like the First Growths of Bordeaux, Rayas could be the wine that stands above all the others in the Southern Rhone Valley.
