Kicking off the 2012s, Saint Siffrein's straight Châteauneuf du Pape offers loads of kirsch, mulled spice, blackberry and garrigue in its classic, medium to full-bodied, ripe and textured style. Made from 65% Grenache, 15% each of Mourvedre and Syrah and the rest Cinsault, aged 12 months in stainless steel and foudre, it's an outstanding, Provencal effort to drink over the coming 8-10 years. Score - 90. (Jeb Dunnuck, erobertparker.com, Oct. 2014)
