2016	Chateau Du Mourre Du Tendre Cotes Du Rhone Villages Plan De Dieu Jacques Paumel This estate makes several Côtes du Rhône. The 2016 Côtes du Rhône Villages Plan de Dieu Jacques Paumel is a non-destemmed blend of 40% each of Syrah and Grenache, and the final 20% a mix of Mourvèdre and Cinsault. It offers lots of pepper, herbal/underbrush, leather, and dried earth notes and is medium to full-bodied, ripe, and about as classic and traditional as it gets.	Red	NA	1
