Basic Juice Review

E. Guigal Gigondas, 2000 ($30)

***1/2 (3.5-Stars)

Comprised of: Grenache 70%, Syrah 20%, Mourvèdre 10%
Medium ruby red color with brick-colored rim

Earthy scents coupled with red plums, black currant, & orange peel

Dusty-dry with a slightly tannic bite. Medium-bodied with a long, even finish.


After looking over my wine reviews from the past few months, I've just come to the realization that I'm a Rhone-addict. Well, here's yet another wine review from Mssr. Rhone, E. Guigal.

This one is from the Gigondas appellation (population 656!), which aint too far away from the city of Orange.
