Saturated ruby. Strikingly aromatic bouquet of red and dark berries, garrigue and incense, plus an exotic note of apricot. Sappy black raspberry and cassis flavors caress the palate, with smoky minerals providing verve. Utterly seamless wine, offerin... Stephen Tanzer's IWC.

Winemaker's Notes:

Considered by many to be the benchmark producer in the appellation, Cayron produces a Gigondas of phenomenal richness and incredible longevity. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more terroir-expressive wine anywhere in the Southern Rhone; bold, explosive, stunningly evocative garrigues flavors careen from the glass, blaring their stamp of origin like a neon sign. These are old-styled, powerful wines of enormous fruit amplitude and irresistible personality. Furthermore, Cayron is among the most age-worthy of Gigondas, delicious upon release, but improving for well over a decade and holding strong for a long time thereafter. This 15-hectare domaine, run by the Faraud family, is a classic and truly top-flight estate.
