"Along the same lines, the Alain Jaume 2012 Gigondas Terrasses de Montmirail is a mostly Grenache, with 20% Syrah, that’s aged 14 months in 20% barrels. Showing classic Gigondas spice, dried garrigue, saddle leather and blackberry and raspberry fruit, this medium to full-bodied Gigondas is loaded with Provencal character. Drink it over the coming 6-7 years. Drink now-2021. -JD"

"Dark ruby. Lively raspberry and floral scents are complicated by suggestions of white pepper and allspice. Finely etched red fruit flavors show very good depth, with a zesty mineral nuance emerging with air. Leads with its fruit and finishes sweet and long, with slow-building tannins and echoing spiciness. - Josh Raynolds"

"Very solid, exhibiting dark, mouthfilling flavors of plum sauce, fresh fig and blackberry compote, inlaid with dried anise notes and brambly grip. Lots of black tea and tobacco details fuel the finish. Modest cellaring should let this round into form. Best from 2017 through 2024. 1,200 cases made."

"While Gigondas struggled in 2014, the 2013s were surprisingly successful. The 2013 Gigondas Terrasses de Montmirail is nicely concentrated and structured, with lots of classic graphite, smoked earth, mineral and black fruit characteristics on both the nose and palate. Made from 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre, it has excellent purity of fruit, good acidity and fine tannin, all of which should keep it drinking nicely through 2024. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"Another winner is the 2015 Gigondas Terrasses de Montmirail. Coming from higher elevation sites and mostly limestone soils, its vibrant purple color is followed by beautiful spice, black raspberry, kirsch and dried flower-like aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, balanced and polished, with plenty of fruit yet also solid underlying ripe tannic structure, buy a case and enjoy bottles over the coming 7-8 years. - Jeb Dunnuck"
