Country: France / Domaine Grand Romane Cuvée Prestige
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Pierre Amadieu / Gigondas
One of Amadieu’s top wines, this is a full-bodied, richly textured Gigondas that nevertheless maintains a sense of precision in its assertive herb-laced notes of plum and espresso. Cracked pepper plays a role, too, adding focus to the long, silky finish. Drink now–2020.
