The 2022 Domaine Berthet Rayne Châteauneuf-du-Pape Tradition Rouge is an organic, full-bodied red blend from the Rhône region of France. The wine is structured, with notes of dark fruit, herbs, and spices, and is ready to drink now but will benefit from additional aging. Expect a complex bouquet of fruits, herbs, and spices. Specific notes include sour cherry, ripe raspberry, blackcurrant, juicy plum, dried herbs, licorice, and black pepper, with hints of garrigue (wild herbs). The palate is full-bodied, with a silky and generous texture. Flavors of dark cherry compote, blackberry jam, and mulled spices are complemented by savory notes of dried thyme, leather, and tobacco. The tannins are chalky but well-integrated, and there is a long, lingering finish. The 2022 Domaine Berthet Rayne Châteauneuf-du-Pape Tradition Rouge is a high-quality example of its type, combining a silky richness with a structured, dry finish. Its complex layers of fruit, herbs, and earth make it a versatile wine for food pairing and an excellent choice for anyone who appreciates the classic style of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
