Expert Reviews – Vintage 2019

Jeb Dunnuck writes 91 Points | The 2019 Gigondas is terrific, with a more medium-bodied, elegant style as well as lots of red and black fruits, spice, incense, and garrigue. It’s a Southern Rhne charmer yet has balance, fine tannins, and certainly a sense of class.

Joe Czerwiski of the Wine Advocate writes 91-93 Points | Marked by scents of Provence herbs, cherries and blueberries, the 2019 Gigondas is another successful example of this Southern Rhne appellation. Full-bodied and concentrated, it’s rich and velvety in feel, with a long finish. Drinking 2023 – 2030.

James Suckling writes 91 Points| Aromas of black licorice, charred rosemary, coriander and plums. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Generous fruit on the palate with steady balance and intensity. Drink or hold.

James Molesworth writes Wine Spectator 91 Points | Understated style, with light incense and worn cedar notes running along the edges of the slightly dried currant, raspberry and red cherry fruit flavors. The cedary edge lingers longest in the end. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvdre. Best from 2023 through 2030.

Josh Raynolds of Vinous writes 93 Points | Full ruby color. The deeply perfumed nose showcases cherry, dark berries, licorice, savory herbs and olive notes. Concentrated, spice-laced cassis, cherry-cola and candied lavender flavors smoothly blend depth and vivacity. Polished tannins come in slowly on a very long, penetrating finish that strongly repeats the cherry and floral notes. Drinking 2025 to 2032.
