Pallieres, Gigondas Racines Vintage:2016 I asked him about how

I asked him about how things started and he confessed that they were going to plant a new vineyard

iron and mocha

Here too there is enough reduction present to require plenty of aeration

Here the wood is a bit more modulated though still easily visible on the otherwise fresh

lime and slate aromas

Pallieres, Gigondas Racines Vintage:2016 I asked him about howFull 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
