Bright ruby. Raspberry, lavender and passion fruit on the exotic, highly aromatic nose. Spicy, sappy and concentrated, offering intense red fruit liqueur, apricot and floral pastille flavors that expand with air. There's a delicacy here that's surprising given the wine's power. Singular and wild in the best sense, with gentle tannins and superb finishing clarity, thrust and length. -Antonio Galloni, Vinous MediaOne of my favorite estates in Gigondas, Domaine du Cayrons 2012 Gigondas doesnt disappoint. Made from 70% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 14% Syrah and a splash of Mourv¬dre thats fermented with 100% whole clusters, it shows a classic Cayron perfume of basil, wild herbs, sweet dark fruits and mint. Medium-bodied, supple and elegant, its already hard to resist but will evolve nicely through 2022. -The Wine Advocate
Deep red color with dark tints. Exotic nose of raspberry, mulberry, and apricot. Very fresh and spicy in the mouth with blackberry flavors. Enjoy on its own or pair with Beef Burgundy, red meat, game and cheeses. Blend: 70% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 14% Syrah. -Winemaker's Notes
