Gabriel Meffre Sainte-Catherine Gigondas 2019

Appealingly chewy and meaty, with serious character behind perfumed red currant, dusty earth, baked cherry, ganache and licorice notes. Reveals tobacco and mesquite accents that smolder through a finish marked by a pleasing kick of bitter cherry. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2028.
