92pts Wine Spectator
A winey version, with steeped cherry and kirsch, this is ripe and broad, starting off glossy and then reined in by cashmere-fine tannins that give real textural framework. A modern, stylish, full-bodied red that's very well-executed, with roasted apple wood in the background. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2030.
92pts James Suckling
Here's an excellent introduction to Gigondas with the richness and spice, plus the ample tannins we expect from this appellation. Long, well-structured finish with excellent balance. A cuvee of 70% grenache, 20% syrah and 10% mourvedre that was aged completely in large oak foudre. Drink or hold.
91pts Vinous
Ripe strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, dried herbs and a touch of cedar introduce the 2020 Gigondas. Concentrated and expressive, the 2020 is a classic rendition of this red that’s going to drink well over the next five years. A savory finish of good length rounds it up.
Winemaker Notes
Pretty purple, with an intense nose dominated by stone fruits, licorice and savory garrigue notes. On the palate the wine is generous and elegant, offering cranberry and cherry notes that are accented by hints of clove and allspice. Overall a direct expression, lovely structure, and good tannins, present but supple. This is a wine you'll keep coming back to again and again!
