From the superb 2007 Rhône vintage, this Gigondas is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. Complex nose of raspberry, black cherry, black currants, plums, cedar, sweet spices and Herbs de Provence. On the palate, this medium to full body wine has well integrated flavours, smooth texture, fresh acidity and drying tannins. This Gigondas finish is savoury with grainy tannins. I enjoyed this wine with BBQ Lamb, and it matched beautifully.
This wine was purchased January 22, 2011 LCBO New Release at $29.95
