Gigondas 'Cuvee Jurassique' |
A big, rich, powerhouse of a wine, the 2020 Gigondas Jurassique is based on 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah. Medium to full-bodied and mouth-filling, it has plenty of red and blue fruits, some classic Gigondas Provençal herb and floral notes, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s going to evolve for a decade at a minimum. |

Domaine Yves Cheron |
Gigondas 'Cuvee Jurassique' |
An age-worthy wine, the 2021 Gigondas Jurassique has perfumed red and black fruits that give way to more floral, sappy herb, and underbrush nuances with air. It's medium-bodied, has a vibrant, focused mouthfeel, integrated acidity, and rock-solid mid-palate depth. Based on 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah, give bottles 2-3 years in the cellar and it should keep through 2033. |

Lambrusco Reggiano 'Rosso all'Antica' |
A dense and lightly chewy red with tannin texture to it. Full body, plenty of fruit and a relatively dry finish. Shows tension and focus. Pretty blackberry and charcoal undertones. Drink now. |

A very simple Cab Sauv, this offers straightforward notes of red and black plum, river water, licorice and cinnamon. Best Buy. |

Lambrusco Reggiano Rose Dry |
Aromas of canned strawberries with a typical briary note. Medium-bodied with a compact fizz and tart red-berry flavors. Good and refreshing. Drink now, well-chilled. |
