Domaine Isabel Ferrando

Since Isabel Ferrando's sole Châteauneuf-du-Pape bottling here is based entirely on Grenache, 2013 hit her especially hard, with production off by almost two-thirds. The small silver lining was that what little wine was made was "quite good," she added. "The extended growing season and clean harvest helped to offset the pain of the brutally small crop a bit," she told me, adding that she thinks that her 2013 will age gracefully and, thanks to its harmonious tannins, probably never really shut down. Two thousand twelve, on the other hand, was "a wonderful vintage, with high quality and decent quantity, compared to '13." Ferrando thinks that even though the tannins in her Colombis 2012 are "round and harmonious," the wine will surprise people with its ability to age.
