Blend of Grenache (70%), Syrah (20%) and Mourvèdre (10%). Dark ruby color with a garnet meniscus. Aromas of black berry/cherry fruit, purple flowers, leather, garrigue and dried herbs. Flavors of dried blackberry and red and black cherry fruit, tobacco, black pepper, red and black licorice and a bit of smoked meat. Medium-plus body and finish. Plus acidity, nice structure and nicely smoothed out tannins. Well aged and hitting its peak. Appreciate you opening this one, Ron B! — 3 months ago
A great Gigondas at this price ($55). Not much tannin, but distinct leathery and earthy notes that distinguish it from the mine run. Good rec from Lower Falls. — 5 months ago
Clear, medium to pale ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of raspberries, dried herbs, and hibiscus; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, medium body, and pronounced intensity primary and secondary flavors of blackberries, dried cranberries, cinnamon, and black cardamom with a long finish. This wine is s little bitter at first, but complex and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — a month ago

Full bodied Gigondas, paired alongside lamb ragu. Stood up great to the food. Think the wine could have used another hour decant to really show itself. — 6 hours ago
