  With a little air this mostly Grenache blend (80% Grenache, 8% Syrah, 7% Cinsault and 5% Clairette) yields restrained aromas of black raspberry, sage, lavender and leather tones that lead to a fresh, juicy, similarly styled, light on its feet palate that finishes with a lingering spice note.

  Smoky, fruit-forward Gigondas. Crowd pleaser. Ready to drink but could stay in the cellar a few more years, too.

  Enticing aromatic notes of lavender, blueberry, garrigue, and Asian spices. Full and smooth on the palate.

  Tasted blind; 12 Gigondas all from 2017; 12 people. This placed 2nd, for the 2nd year running. Light but flavorful; blueberries dialed up here, which I’ve never gotten from Racines before. Mineral streak keeps it restrained and crisp, far from sweet. A very pretty spiced nose. Some slight bricking around the edges already.
