Domaine de Espiers 2004 Cuvée des Blaches Red (Gigondas)
-
$39
What a pleasant surprise. This largely under-the-radar estate has fashioned a superb 2004 that boasts a lovely nose redolent of blueberries and spice. The prettiness of the bouquet is backed up by a warm, lush mouthfeel and a creamy, satisfying texture. Drink now–2012.
