Tasting notes
Vivid ruby. Aromas of cherry pit, blackberry and pungent flowers are lifted by a smoky mineral element. Juicy and focused in the mouth, offering bitter cherry and licorice flavors that take a sweeter turn on the back half. The long, energetic finish features dusty tannins and resonating mineral and cherry pit qualities.

The 2014 Gigondas les Racines is truly gorgeous, and a serious wine in a difficult vintage for the appellation. From yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare, it has beautiful notes of black cherries, blackberries, hints of pepper and bouquet garni in a medium-bodied, ultra-fine, ultra-pure style. It’s a hidden little gem that will keep for a decade.
Bright ruby. Spicy and energetic on the nose, displaying intense red and dark berry scents and suggestions of candied flowers and garrigue . Spicy, tightly focused raspberry and bitter cherry flavors deepen and spread out slowly, picking up a subtle licorice nuance. Shows very good energy and mineral-driven thrust on the clinging finish, which is framed by dusty, harmonious tannins.
