Notes from critics

We love the Rhone Valley GSMs, particularly from Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas. This offering is a great representation of the aromas and flavors of the Gigondas GSMs. Dark fruits, pepper, and dried herbs the French of the region refer to as "garrigue." Add well integrated tannin and a great mouthfeel and we have again, a great representation of the quality wines of the Gigondas region.

The nose of this Gigondas immediately brings back nostalgic aromas of freshly baked berry pie. On the palate, it is energetic with fresh fruits and garrigue. The wine is lovely and enjoyable now with braised meats, or on its own.

Tasted out of bottle, the 2019 Gigondas La Gille has lots of classic Gigondas spice and peppery garrigue notes as well as medium to full body, a round, layered, nicely textured mouthfeel, supple tannins, and a great core of both blackberry and raspberry-like fruits. Drink it over the coming decade.
