August 3, 2023 - Not wildly complex but harmonious and tasty all the same.
Not big on the nose but the palate is smooth with ripe cherry, nice oak, and a little of that Kirsch thing.
Nothing wrong with this, and it's ready to go. -

October 24, 2022 - Nez : garrigue, fruits noirs, épices, fumé, fines herbes.
Souple et fruité. Sapide, riche et rond. Les tannins sont fins. Finale moyenne...pointe sèche. Prêt à boire...ou d'ici 2024. 91+ -

February 21, 2022 - Don't remember too much about this, but likely reasonable if you're going to flavor.

October 28, 2021 - What is this? I found this wine sitting on a shelf for $30 in a Whole Foods market in West Los Angeles. I live near San Francisco. I am a southern Rhône fanatic. Who is this? The local cave (cooperative)? Hmmm.
Color: Dark ruby. Impressive.
Nose: Complex, expressive grenache/syrah driven nose of black cherry, black raspberry, smoke, garrigue spices, provençale pastilles (violets and licorice).
Palate: Rich, full-bodied, excellent concentration. Sweet fruit in the mid palette. Black cherry, black raspberry, smokey damson plum, with a touch of Grenache pepper. Med-soft tannins. Big alcohol (15%), but it did not taste that high (no heat on the finish). Excellent balance. Delicious wine!
Back label says: 80% Grenache/10 Syrah/10 Mourvèdre.
Fantastic Gigondas. And 2016 is a great vintage in the Southern Rhône.
Buy it if you can find it! But most of this is sold in France I suspect. Importer: Wine Situation, Los Angeles, CA.
