Rhone, Gigondas, Domaine du Cayron
$ 31.99 USD
Brilliant ruby-red. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes red fruit liqueur, apricot, potpourri and smoky minerals. Juicy and expansive on the palate, offering sweet raspberry and pit fruit flavors that put on weight with air. The floral and smoky notes come back strong on the long, supple finish, which is given shape by late-arriving tannins. Once again, this was among the most aromatically intriguing wines that I tasted from the vintage.
