Ch. Hosanna 2004

CH. HOSANNA 2004 is a full-bodied, complex red wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation in the southern Rhône Valley of France. It is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and other permitted varieties, and is aged for 18 months in a combination of new and used oak barrels. The wine has a deep garnet color with aromas of ripe black fruit, spice, and garrigue. On the palate, it is rich and velvety, with flavors of black cherry, plum, licorice, and a hint of minerality. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, and the finish is long and lingering. CH. HOSANNA 2004 is a powerful and age-worthy wine that is best enjoyed with grilled meats, stews, or hearty cheeses.
