Domaine Tour Saint-Michel Cuvee des Deux Soeurs Description
The blend of power and subtlety found in Domaine Tour Saint-Michel's, Cuvee des Deux Soeurs is a three generation family run estate that is crafted from the top microclimates found in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It opens with aromas of crushed black cassis set against a forest floor backdrop, while the medium-bodied palate delivers plum, cranberry skin, and clove notes.
Blend: 90% Grenache, 10% Syrah
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
Notes of sun-drenched black cherry and strawberry preserves are sonorous in this fruit-forward, piercing blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah. It highlights all of Grenache's red-fruited delights and soft, pillowy tannins along with a twist of Syrah's peppery, brambly spice. Delightful young, it should maintain peak through 2030 at least
Vinous Media: 93 Points
Brilliant ruby-red. Strongly perfumed scents of ripe red fruits and lavender are accompanied by exotic spice and blood orange nuances. Supple and expansive on the palate, offering sweet raspberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors underscored by a smoky mineral element. Well-concentrated but lithe as well, finishing juicy and quite long, with lingering, spice-tinged red fruit character and slow-building tannins.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Bright and juicy, with a ball of red licorice, plum and red currant paste flavors, pushed by fresh acidity, carried with a lively iron twinge throughout. Grenache and Syrah.
Jeb Dunnuck: 91 Points
The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Des Deux Soeurs is 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, all aged in concrete. It's a classic, peppery, garrigue, and savory cherry-driven 2019 offering ripe tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish.
