This intro from Chief Pirateer Dirk Pettigrew needed no edit:
"Our entry level wine is a nod to CDP hence “Slurpyneuf du Pape” begot “Slurpyneuf du Pup” then “Slurpy Puppy” stuck, ended up as a winery dog critter label that took off like a robber’s dog". There you go!
Succulent palate, lighter - more supple - than perhaps one might expect, given aromatic depths. Gossamer like tannin, threading long across the palate. Glossy, slick feel, akin to that a waxed apple.
There's a depth and length of flavour here, good to see the GSM blend still fairing well - something that I feel I've not seen as much with the trend toward single varietal wines. 91
