Silken texture and a distinct mineral freshness make Domaine Cristia's entry-level Châteauneuf-du-Pape a standout. Lavishly perfumed, it offers pristine black-cherry aromas marked by smoke and spice. Blackberry and blueberry flavors are unctuous but edged by firm, fine-grained tannins. Hold till 2021 to allow tannins to meld. It should develop beautifully through 2035.
