Velvety red with nicely balanced strawberry, blackberry, and peach flavors. A great wine to drink on its own.  — 2 months ago

Parker gave it a 94- was expecting it to drink like a 92-93- it drank like a 91-92.

Surprisingly refined and restrained expression of Pinot noir. Paired with polenta and chicken not too overly seasoned to hide the subtlety of the wine. — 4 years ago

Lovely wine. It’s wild that recent releases go for $200+ per bottle. Bought for $40 from vinchicago many years ago, after having at Terete in Haro, Rioja on our honeymoon.

Paired with grilled leg of lamb marinated with garlic, rosemary, thyme, and orange. Opened 4 hours ahead and decanted an hour. Not quite as deep as the last bottle (2+ years ago) but still very delicious. Wonderful example of what well made top quality Rioja can be. Incredible depth on the palate and finish. Medium perfect acid. Just delicious. — 2 months ago

First bottle of honeymoon wine at the Mark Hopkins InterContinental In San Francisco! It smells like the best piece of baked brioche bread, the crust specifically. Surprisingly light on the bubbles, almost a pet-nat level of effervescence, but the flavor is straight acidic red fruits, with strawberry and some lemon citrus, and a delicious dry finish. The finish is also mouth drying, but all mineral driven. Very enjoyable pre-dinner sparkling! — 3 years ago

I like this quite a bit. Has a mildly salty yeasty nutty oxidative thing going on. Good freshness. Decent length. Quality juice. 12%. Good qpr @ $22 on sale — 7 months ago

Interesting wine. Almost a raspberry jam flavor without being sugary. — 3 years ago

Very nice gigondas - probably best I’ve had. Slightly hot, at 15%, which is my only complaint. I think we may have bought this on a honeymoon trip through the rhone in 2015 - our tastes have certainly changed since then but this is still nice. — 4 years ago
