2019 E. Guigal Gigondas Rhone Valley

Winemaker Notes: Pretty purple, with an intense nose dominated by stone fruits, licorice and savory garrigue notes. On the palate the wine is generous and elegant, offering cranberry and cherry notes that are accented by hints of clove and allspice. Overall a direct expression, lovely structure, and good tannins, present but supple. This is a wine you'll keep coming back to again and again!

Blend: 70% Grenache, 20 % Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Spectator - "Understated style, with light incense and worn cedar notes running along the edges of the slightly dried currant, raspberry and red cherry fruit flavors. The cedary edge lingers longest in the end. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Best from 2023."


James Suckling - "Aromas of black licorice, charred rosemary, coriander and plums. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Generous fruit on the palate with steady balance and intensity. Drink or hold."
