Dauvergne & Ranvier 2012 Grand Vin (Gigondas)

Country: France / Grand Vin
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Dauvergne & Ranvier / Gigondas

This is an impressive, well-endowed wine, bursting with superripe cherries, cinnamon and vanilla notes. It’s full-bodied, velvety textured and warm, picking up dark chocolate notes on the long, dry finish. It’s drinkable now, but worth holding through 2018 for a more savory experience.
