Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The deep ruby 2004 Rayas Châteauneuf du Pape is a structured wine that seems to have closed down from the component part tasting last year. It is medium-bodied with sweet, ripe black cherry and raspberry notes, some crushed rocks, and that distinctive minerality that Rayas seems to provide. The wine reveals more structure this year, and therefore seems to need 2-4 years of bottle age. Stylistically, it is more than just a coincidence that it resembles the 1994, which has turned out very well and is beginning to drink beautifully in the classic Rayas style.

Supple, with very elegant structure guiding the raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, cinnamon, mineral and black tea notes through the lengthy, stylish finish. Very pure, with a great silky mouthfeel, this gains depth as it airs in the glass.

Château Rayas
Château Rayas

Founded in 1880 and passed down within the same family ever since, Château Rayas holds a singular place in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation: its great red wine is a pure Grenache, aged without new oak in old large casks, on a terroir of fine sands that gives it finesse and freshness rather than power. The white wine from Rayas, a rare offering, combines Grenache Blanc and Clairette.

The bottles offered here range from the great solar years — the 1988 wine and the 1990 vintage — to the return to the summit of the 2000s, with the year 2006, the 2010 wine and a more accessible 2011, passing through 2000. So many facets of an estate that has become one of the most sought-after references in the southern Rhône.
