($34) Medium red color. Smoky, pungent aromas of wild red berries, coffee and oak spice. Spicy, fresh and round in the mouth, with red berry and plum flavors supported by supple, round tannins. Finishes on a slightly dry note. (Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY) 88 points |

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Issue #136, January/February 2008)
(Chateau Mont Redon Chateauneuf du Pape) ($43) Deep ruby. Smoky raspberry and cherry on the nose, with exotic cured meat and cola nuances adding complexity. Rich, fleshy red fruit liqueur flavors are framed by fine-grained tannins and an element of minerality that builds with air. Impressively sweet, silky and fresh, with a lovely raspberry quality and excellent snap. 91 points |
