Pallieres, Gigondas Racines other_regions_italy More discreet but certainly not

More discreet but certainly not invisible wood and menthol influences are present on the cool essence of various red berries that is trimmed in warm earth nuances

An exuberantly floral-suffused nose speaks of both red and dark berries

and do not envision its ever approaching the level of interest or seduction generated by the corresponding Spatlese

while the higher-yielding vintage seems to have provided drinkability and very pure flavors

The Trancedi is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon

Pallieres, Gigondas Racines other_regions_italy More discreet but certainly notFull bottle 1,390 g. From the estate's oldest vines (60 to 100 years old). 80% Grenache, 8% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 5% Clairette. Kermit Lynch and Brunier family run this. Slightly dull, shaded garnet almost ruby suggests this was neither filtered nor fined. Really grunty, sweet southern Rhne with herbs and spices and even a bit of leather. Lots of fun! Hints of molasses and dried grasses. Really artisanal and a liquid to transport you to red wine
