Country: France / Terrasses de Montmirail
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Alain Jaume et Fils / Gigondas
Always one of the stalwarts of the Jaume stable, Terrasses seems more fruit-driven than usual in 2010, yielding almost jammy notions of black cherries and plums. It’s medium to full in body, with enough dusty tannins on the finish to support another four or five years’ of cellaring.
