2018 Chateau de Saint Cosme Gigondas

Appellation

Rhone, France

Tasting Notes

The bay leaf, alder and tobacco notes are well-defined, with a core of steeped plum, blackberry and black currant fruit sitting in reserve. Offers lots of briary grip and a long singed iron edge on the finish.

Pairing

Beef stroganoff, stews, spare ribs.
