Deep, glass-clinging red purple with near black core. Peppery boysenberry rules the abundant nose. Echoed on the full-bodied palate along with ashen leather (leathery ash?) and black cranberry. Juicy medium acidity. Medium plus, non-aggressive tannins. A classic Gigondas from a world class producer of same. Hearty winter and early spring fare (I’m having pot roast) will shine, but feel free to let this upscale your cookout! Drink now through 2030.
