Chateau de Saint Cosme Gigondas is made from 70% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 14% Syrah, 1% Cinsaut.
The wine shows intense blackberry and fig fruit with licorice, violets, and charcoal on the finish. It is remarkably fresh and finessed given the sun and warmth of the southern Rhône. The unique micro-climate combined with 60-year-old vines and traditional winemaking make Château de Saint Cosme Gigondas the benchmark wine of the appellation.
Review:
Leading off the Gigondas, the base 2020 Gigondas has lots of black raspberry, ground pepper, and violets notes as well as a round, supple, silky style on the palate. It should be approachable on release, yet it has plenty of mid-palate depth as well as tannins, and I have no doubt it will evolve for 20 years if properly stored.

Neyer's Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine has a bright ruby hue with aromas of wild cherries, chocolate and fresh tobacco leaf. The finished wine is remarkable for its flavor and complexity, and the wine looks to be one that will improve for many years. Planted in 1992 by David Abreu, this fruit is located on ground higher than 600 feet on rocky land rich with basalt. This vineyard is one of the rare 10% in Napa Valley capable of producing great Cabernet Sauvignon and is planted around the Neyers Ranch.
