Tasting notes
Vivid ruby. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and blue fruits, potpourri and smoky minerals. A spicy white pepper hint sharpens the sweet blueberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors. Finishes on a gently tannic note, leaving repeating floral and blue fruit notes behind.

The 2019 Gigondas La Tour Sarrasine shows a touch more finesse and elegance, with beautiful red and blue fruits as well as notes of new saddle leather, lavender, and herbes de Provence. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has terrific fruit, silky tannins, and great balance. It’s not over the top in any way, has a pure, seamless mouthfeel, and is another terrific Gigondas from this estate. A blend of 70% Grenache and 15% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, it will evolve gracefully for 10-15 years.
70% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah. Aged for 24 months in concrete and stainless steel. Tank sample. Tasted blind. Slight reductive note on the nose, very drying tannins. Tight and taut. (AC)
