A Truly Spectacular Offering from Gigondas and Domaine Raspail-Ay

January 26, 2017

We knew how great this was the minute we tasted it. Mike and Dominique Ay from Domaine Raspail-Ay go way back; a relationship bathed in liters of Grenache (with a little Mourvèdre and Syrah thrown in for good measure)! See our producer profile here. Again, another rave review from Josh Raynolds at "Vinous":

Domaine Raspail-Ay 2014 Gigondas (91-93 points)

"Vivid ruby-red. Spice-accented red and dark berries on the highly perfumed nose. Excellent clarity and lift in the mouth, offering juicy raspberry, bitter cherry and lavender pastille flavors that deepen and become sweeter with aeration. Rich yet vibrant, showing strong closing thrust, fine-grained tannins and resonating mineral and floral notes".- Josh Raynolds. Tasting date: February 2016
