Abbreviated notes from the morning after an amazing gathering of family and friends the day after my daughter’s wedding (which was MORE amazing than the wines!).
Pinnacle Giggie. Garrigue, iodine, depth, balance.

Pedal to the medal old school stoney Gigondas. All Grenache from 110 year old vines. Nose of spice and stones. High toned. Raspberry liquor. Cassis, hint of barnyard that is so alluring. Leather, herbs de Provence and even some florals on a bases of stones. Complex and dizzying aromas. Palate has tons of energy, incredible concentration and terrific freshness. So stoney. Super elegant but also a powerful wine with substantial tannins but really shows the truck driver in a tutu thing that high alcohol, powerful old vines Grenache can do. Lovely, long and lingering finish. This will be better in 5 years or so but a fun drink today. Love this and maybe my favorite Gigondas.
