The cream of the lineup and one of the stars of the vintage is the 2013 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve le Clos du Caillou. Incorporating more Mourvedre than normal (a blend of 55% Grenache and 45% Mourvedre), this smokin' southern Rhone sports a deep ruby/purple color to go with notes of blackcurrants, white pepper, orange liqueur and graphite. Big, full-bodied, supple and elegant, it's certainly not as massive as some of the greats from this estate (2001, 2005, 2007 or 2010), but hats off to the team for producing a wine of this quality in a difficult vintage.
