    Domaine de la Solitude 2017 Réserve Secréte Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)

    The Réserve Secréte is produced only in exceptional years, but with a continuation of exceptional vintages, we're blessed with back-to-back releases in 2016 and 2017. A blend of old-vine Grenache and Syrah sourced from sandy soils and matured a total of 30 months, it's a powerfully concentrated, heart-stopping red full of raspberry and preserved-plum flavors. Accented with tangs of salt, licorice, char and leather, it's a complex wine that should hit peak from 2023–2035 and hold further.
