An alluring red with plenty of black cherry and ripe plum flavors, along with notes of toasty oak, mocha and spice, this is rich yet focused, with the backbone to age.Additional Information

GigondasWine lovers who enjoy Châteauneuf-du-Pape will also appreciate the robust reds from Gigondas. The red clay soil and Mediterranean climate yield full-bodied wines from the Southern Rhône’s star varietals: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Characteristic flavors of licorice, raspberries and spice make these wines a great match for red meat and game. |

FranceThough French wines are the highest valued wines in the world, esteemed wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne were only enjoyed locally until 150 years ago when transportation improvements made them widely available. French wine production is governed by a strict quality-control system, which regulates the grapes used in each region and classifies wineries according to an elaborate cru hierarchy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc are just a few of the important grape varietals with roots in French soil. |
