Greetings!
2020 Rhone Vintage: Overall the 2020 Rhone vintage is a drinker right out of the gate, the wines hold the body and acidity we look for from this region, yet for the most part, everything we tasted is drinking well now. Maybe not a long term cellaring vintage, but very rewarding for those that pop the bottles sooner than later. Of course we said 2006 would not be a good vintage to cellar, I am still enjoying many 2006 vintage Rhone wines now. Time will tell, but we don’t need time to agree they are drinking well now!
For those of you that have been with us for a few years, you already know how this Alain Jaume Gigondas has gained in popularity. At first release, it was selling for around $50 a bottle. Over time, we managed to get the price down to acceptable levels!
This is a small production wine of only 1000 cases, with only a couple hundred making it to the United States.
Reviews:
Deep red garnet color. Aromas typical for Grenache with ripe black fruit, blackberry. A powerful Gigondas, racy but harmonious and well balanced. The finish is long on spices touches (pepper) and minerals (crushed rocks, graphite). Best enjoyed after 1-8 years. Best to decant if served young.
Remember, we will store your wine all summer or winter long if needed, free of charge when it is too cold or hot to ship in your area, our area, or anywhere in between!
We also offer, for a small fee, HEATING PACKS to all states & COOLING PACKS to most states on the checkout page to allow shipping at anytime.
Cheers,
