E. Guigal 2011 Red (Côtes du Rhône)

Country: France /
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: E. Guigal / Côtes du Rhône

A perennial favorite, it’s reassuring to see that the quality continues to remain high even from Guigal’s least expensive cuvée. Red fruits—cherries and raspberries—marry easily with hints of clove, cracked pepper, black olive and espresso. It’s round on the midpalate, showing more focus and ample length on the finish.
