Score 88+/100 · Josh Raynolds, Jan 2008

Bright red. Zesty red berries on the nose, with suave floral and mineral qualities adding verve. Supple raspberry and cherry flavors are lifted by firm but harmonious acidity, gaining weight and sweetness on the finish. This should fatten up with a bit of bottle age.

Perrin et Fils also produces two cuvees of Gigondas. Their basic cuvee, which is close to 100% Grenache aged in both tank and foudre, is called La Gille. The 2005 offers plenty of kirsch liqueur, licorice, and crushed rocks and has an elegant minerality, medium body, and a Burgundian- like flavor and aromatic profile. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802

Bright red. Smoky raspberry and strawberry on the nose, with a wild component of cured meat. Bitter cherry and ripe red berry flavors are complicated by garrigue and pepper notes. Finishes with chewy tannins and a cherry pit flavor.
