Domaine du Terme 2022 Gigondas, France

From the foothills of the Montmirail Mountains in the southern Cotes du Rhone lies the appellation of Gigondas. Here, the Grenache and Syrah express their power and muscle. Though a big wine and a worthy complement to your steak dinner, there is vivacious red cherry and vivid acidity that provide freshness and balance. Dark fruits add to the complexity that only vines as old as 45 year old can bring. This is an exciting Gigondas and a very good value considering the nuanced layers of pleasure it provides.
