.1871 Tradition Gigondas Red Rhone Blend

Powerful stewed red fruit (in a nice way) coming through on this Gigondas that pairs nicely with the more rustic & spicy notes you expect from the style

Consistent notes.

Didn’t scream at me. Kept coming back to this. Flirty and long legged.

Excellent Gigondas.
Wonderful melding of Grenache and Syrah.
I have a soft spot for these wines-- balanced acidity, lengthy finish, softened tannins. Red and dark fruit with leather and tobacco.

Color: velvet red, ink

Aroma: inky, red cherries, tobacco leaf, blackberry jam

Tasting Notes: jammy, cassis, tobacco leaf, baking spices, warm

Texture: tannic, dry, juice bomb
