Clos Saint-Jean Deus-Ex Machina Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2021 Morlet Family Vineyards A juicy red with darkThe 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina is a strong candidate to be wine of the vintage. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvdre, it combines scents of black truffles and black cherries with hints of cedar and vanilla (the Mourvdre is aged in new oak, the Grenache in concrete). It's full bodied and concentrated, supple and almost creamy in feel, then long and velvety on the finish. Bravo. 98 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
