Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre, medium Ruby red color with aromas of red fruits, floral and spice notes, aged for 12 months. On the palate flavors of cherry, red plums and blueberry with notes of black pepper, floral and spice. Fine chewy tannins, long savory finish, ending with fruit, herbs, spice and slight earthy notes. Organic, drinking well, will cellar a bit! — 3 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2020 “Aux Lieux-Dits” pours a deep garnet with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of fresh, ripe brambles, garrigue, red flowers, and inorganic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. There is a solid sense of place from this expression. Drink now through 2035. — 7 months ago

2019 vintage. Last tasted 12.22.25 (9.2). On the list for $85 and popped for the staff at the end of the night for the usual Saturday Slurp. Medium/medium-heavy body. Spices more of a drive-by vs front and center now. Getting rounder. Getting softer. Tannins dwindling. The ever-present frontal palate richness stretching the legs and corrupting the mid palate now too. Really pleasant food or solo matchup. Harmonious and giving. 6.27.26. — 2 months ago

9.5

Deep magenta. A complex, intensely perfumed bouquet evokes black raspberry, kirsch and lavender, along with vibrant mineral and exotic spice flourishes. Incisive red and dark berry, bitter cherry and succulent herb flavors show fine detail and spicy cut. Chewy, slowly building tannins add shape and grip to a strikingly long, nervy finish that echoes the cherry and floral notes. All whole clusters. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, January 2023) — 4 years ago

Full bodied Gigondas, paired alongside lamb ragu. Stood up great to the food. Think the wine could have used another hour decant to really show itself. — 8 months ago
