NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This powerful Gigondas from Château de Saint Cosme is an intense and brooding red, with aromas of dark cherry, cassis, and blackberry, along with notes of dried herbs, licorice, and sweet spice.On the palate, it is medium-bodied and sturdy, supported by a tannic structure and balanced acidity, while the finish is long and savory.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château de Saint Cosme
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
