The Gour de Chaule Cuvée Tradition 2011 has that fabulous, oh so classic Gigondas profile. It runs the complexity gamut—a delicious romp through musky feralness interlacing macerated strawberries and black cherries, earthiness and stunning violet-tinged floriality. This is all that Grenache can be; vivid, wild and expressive. In this case, a medium-bodied, intense wine that tapirs to a close shot through with white pepper and Herbes de Garrigue.

Still love it. Gour de Chale is unique and intriguing. Floral aromas and red liquorice, pallet is earthy, peppercorn, red fruit, plum skin.
