Romane Machotte Gigondas Red Rhone Blend
Gigondas, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Blend of Grenache and Syrah, Ruby with dark berry fruits on the nose. The palate is rich with dark red fruits, black cherry, raspberry and blackberry flavors adding a touch of pepper and earthy spices. The wine has lively acidity, yet a underlying sweet character, with fine tannins giving way to a medium finish ending with mineral tones.

This is juuust opening to reveal all the dark red fruit within. A lovely minerality and a bit of spice complement the fruit for a pretty great Gigondas. It's really well structured at 5 years old and I could see it lasting another 5 easy. Good stuff.

Expressive red berry and floral scents are enriched by allspice and succulent herbs. Sweet and focused on the palate, intense raspberry and cherry flavors and a hint of spicecake. Fleshes out with air and closes smooth and long, with subtle tannins folding into the wine's juicy fruit. (JR)

good balance and structure, soft on the palate, but more full-bodied than your average Cotes du Rhone.
