Domaine des Florets 2007 Saveur des Dentelles Red (Gigondas)
-
$40
This powerfully built Gigondas appears to have 5–8 years of aging potential, so perhaps in time this rating will look conservative. For the moment, the wine displays balanced aromas and flavors of garrigue, leather and plum along with a firm tannic structure. The blend is 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre.

A simple, quaffable Gigondas, with bright cherry fruit on the nose and on the palate, modest tannins and an easygoing personality. Drink it over the next few years.
