"Brilliant ruby-red. Mineral- and spice-accented blueberry, raspberry and lavender aromas show fine clarity and pick up a five-spice powder nuance as the wine opens up. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering appealingly sweet dark berry and spicecake flavors that convey a deft blend of depth and energy. Finishes very long and smooth, with slowly building tannins adding shape and gentle grip." -Josh Raynolds

"The 2018 Gigondas La Louisiane looks to be another terrific example of this cuvée. Raspberries, black cherries, tea leaves and violets all appear on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is rich, velvety and long on the finish." -Joe Czerwinski

"Smashed blueberries and raspberries, really vivid. Full-bodied, very rounded and flamboyant with a dense tannic mesh. This is juicy, not terribly long but certainly makes an impression. Organic. Long maceration (7 weeks), then matured in foudre for 12 months."
