Michael Hall Sang de Pigeon Shiraz 2022

Charles Melton Nine Popes 2018

Chateauneuf du Pape, the stuff upon which Nine Popes is based, when translated to English means "Castle of the new Pope", but in many of the older languages the word "neuf" can mean both "nine" and "new".

Producer Notes - "Vintage 2018 provided almost identical conditions … more
