27% Grenache Noir, 25% Syrah, 24% Mourvèdre, 12% Counoise, 12% Cinsaut
Inspired by classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, our “Papa” is Charlie’s favorite and always first in line for blending trials. The name, pronounced cush-len, translates to “Castle of the Pope” in Gaelic tying the region in France to our own roots. Sourced from Boushey and Meek Vineyards, this wine blends Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Counoise, and Cinsaut, all aged in neutral French oak puncheons to bring out its natural complexity. With dark fruit, spice, and earthiness, we love enjoying it after a day on the slopes, paired with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, or a hearty mushroom risotto. 821 cases
