Notes from critics
It is tough to find a wine you will not like from the Southern Rhône Valley, and this one will absolutely not disappoint. This one is an easy drinking wine, but there is quite a bit more going on here. We really liked the tell-tale garrigue aromas that the region is so well known for so we had to make it part of our inventory. Garrigue refers to the shrub-like vegetation that covers much of the region. These might come across as savory dried herbs, but you will note something different here. We love the 50/50 blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre here. In the end, this is just a delicious wine.

A 50-50 blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre, Santa Duc's 2021 Gigondas Les Hautes Garrigues is a terrific wine, starting with its complex scents of garrigue and crushed stone, then moving through the ripe fruit notes of purple raspberries, black cherries and plums and into the rich, creamy-textured palate. This medium to full-bodied effort is densely concentrated, with a long, gently tannic finish.

Elegant to the core, the 2021 Gigondas Les Hautes Garriques dazzles with fragrant orange peel, rose petal, raspberry, blueberry, and black cherry. Minty and earthy gradations complement the aromatic profile. Firm tannins frame this medium to full-bodied 2021 red, giving way to a stimulating finish.
