"Not yet bottled, the 2019 Gigondas is another great wine from this team. Incredibly complex notes of garrigue, flowers, leather, and mostly red fruits define the bouquet, and it’s medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, and offers about as much Provençal goodness as you can fit in a glass. I’m a buyer."
Barrel Sample: 92-94

"Deep magenta. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe cherry, boysenberry, lavender, black tea and smoky minerals. Offers deep but energetic red and blue fruit, floral pastille, exotic spice and succulent herb flavors that spread out slowly as the wine opens up. The floral and spice notes resonate on a long, focused finish framed by fine-grained, steadily building tannins."
