Better than most CDP's I've had lately and for under 20 bones.

Beautiful. Medium to light body. Fuzzy tannin. More grip than you'd expect..in a good way. Earthy aromatics, but with fruit. Killer wine for the $22 bones I paid for it

2015 vintage. Good grip and acidity but not totally for me. Skip.

On opening, a very pretty Gigondas that you'd be proud to bring to the dance. After a few whirls around the dance floor you realize that this beauty has an interesting mind.

Bright cherry flavors, more acid than tannin. Could be more balanced.

Spicy (black pepper) & woody dominant nose. Pine needles. Earthy fruits and herbs. Very long finish. Super interesting wine!

Intense plummy nose, light color. Light, but spicy on the palate with a long finish. Nicely balanced acid & tannin. Very fruity without being jammy.

My first ever Gigondas. Beautiful floral nose, red and blue fruit, really herby finish (even for a Rhone). Mayhap I'll try more.
