Maybe a little dull/straightforward for the price, but certainly very enjoyable with ripe raspberry liqueur at the fore, alongside little accents of that herbal garrigue in the very far background. Decent acidity holding it together, nice silky tannin. As with a lot of Southern Rhone wines in this price range, it didn't necessarily "grab me"- everything is fairly medium and 90% about soft, ripe fruit. It's rare that I'd choose this over a similarly-priced Northern Rhone, even if it was really tasty.

Nice and gouleyant. No big whoop and at seventeen bucks I’m happy with that. Drink now or hold for up to five years.

Solid Gigondas that paired better with food than drank by itself. Nothing special and a touch sweet but a good value.
