“All Grenache that was vinified in tank and brought up in tronconique wooded tank, the 2019 Gigondas Clos Des Tourelles is up there with the top vintages of this cuvée and is well worth seeking out. Roughly 60% destemmed, it has a core of black raspberry fruit as well as lots of ground pepper, spice, violets, and floral notes in its full-bodied, ultra-fine, pure, seamless style. It’s a heavenly Gigondas that will evolve for 15-20 years if stored correctly.”

“Closed and subdued with a winey character, this delivers sappy cherry, licorice, and herbs that are all held in check by flashes of charred garrigue and still-grippy tannins. It shows savory energy and power, which drive the sleek yet firm finish. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2030. ”
