La Louisiane Gigondas Grenache Blend

Limpid violet. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes black raspberry and cherry preserves, incense, exotic spices and smoky minerals. Sweet, seamless and energetic on the palate, showing impressive depth as well as sharp delineation to its intense red and dark berry, spicecake and lavender pastille flavors. Finishes smooth, sappy and extremely long, with repeating florality and deftly interwoven tannins that add framework and gentle closing grip. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2020)

Youthful and a bit disjointed but still a voluptuous glass of wine. Great extract with black cherry, Garrigue, raspberry essence, lavender and blackberry. Hedonistic but give it at least two more years to develop. Soft tannins, low acid and high alcohol

Classic gigondas, cherries, crushed rocks, fresh, vibrant, alive

kirsch comin through, dried herbs n some pepper

Well balanced and nuanced spice and minerals

The first bottle was corked. The second bottle was a cross between Mystery Bret and rusty nails in fresh killed meat.

silky moutheel, black fruit forward, concentrated fruit. overall vell balanced with a spicy finish

This one was laying down for the last year, and could still use a bit more time. It still has a bit of a bite to it, though it softens in the glass with time.

Ooh baby ... This is a big, dark wine, but not totally overpowering. Dark fruit, brambly, dried potpourri, anise & some spice I can't figure out yet. Fun drinking now, but would love to try again by year's end

QPR banger! Aromatic nose of flowers and spices, sandalwood, violets, and dried cherry. Really splendid, notice a different layer with every sip!
