You go to open what you think is just going to be a nice little weekday Rhône but then it surprises you. Dark ruby with a little rust color on the edges. Potpourri all up in your face initially with fragrant herbs showing. After an hour decant, those red berries start to dance a little. Wild strawberries and plums. A little licorice and nice Rhône spice.
100% Grenache from the oft overlooked Gigondas region. You can find some really great values there and this is a great example. Medium bodied and a touch ethereal. Silky but with a sturdy backbone. The palate is fun with boysenberry and cinnamon. Smoked meat and spice. The finish is long and enchanting, really sticks the landing.

Fantastic. For QPR, this winery has to be the best there is in the southern Rhone. Just awesome.
