2007
90 points / $40 / 600 cases imported / Red Vibrant kirsch and macerated black currant fruit stretches out over a racy,

Château Cabrières
Chateauneuf-du-Pape
Prestige 2007
92 points / $60 / 175 cases imported / Red This has the tangy, taut drive of 2006, as red currant, raspberry ganache, red licorice and shiso leaf notes race through, carried by riveting acidity.
The long, fresh finish has nice minerality. Drink now though 2020. - J.M. For more information, please click here
