"Notes of preserved black cherry and berry extend from nose to finish here, muted by savory tones of crushed earth, forest floor and dried rosemary. Full bodied and richly textured, it's a warming, ruddy wine accentuated by ripe, chewy tannins and sunny acidity. Enjoy now–2026. - ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"

"Deep ruby. Mineral- and smoke-accented red berries and garrigue on the deeply perfumed nose, along with a peppery nuance that adds spicy lift. Juicy, nicely concentrated cherry and raspberry flavors are braced by an undercurrent of smoky minerality. Picks up a suave floral nuance on the very persistent finish, which is framed by silky, harmonious tannins. -Josh Raynolds"

"From a bottle in US and showing even better from bottle than barrel, the 2016 Gigondas Tour Sarrasine (70% Grenache and 15% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre brought up in tank) offers a spicy, pine forest, pepper, and earthy red and black fruit-driven profile. Medium to full-bodied, rounded, and incredibly sexy and opulent on the palate, it has a wealth of fruit, beautiful purity, and a great finish. It has the relatively approachable style of the vintage yet given its depth and density, it’s going to evolve nicely for 10-12 years."

"I loved the 2016 Gigondas Tour Sarrasine from barrel, and it certainly didn’t disappoint from bottle. A blend of 70% Grenache and 15% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, brought up in a mix of stainless steel and concrete, it offers a ripe, sexy, incredibly satisfying style as well as lots of complex pine forest, earthy spice, pepper, and sweet blackberry and cherry fruit. It’s well worth seeking out and will keep for over a decade."
