Wine Review: Saint Cosme 2007 Gigondas – Grenache Red Wine
Saint Cosme 2007 Gigondas – Grenache Red Wine
Red Wine by Saint Cosme from Gigondas, France – Rhone. A blend of 67% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 12% Mourvedre and 1% Cinsault. Aged for twelve months: 70 % in 1 to 4 years old barrels – 15 % in wooden vats – 15% in concrete vats. The dry summer of 2007 gives us a magnificent intensity and precision in the wine. They remind me of 2005 for their balance and their freshness. They gained plenty of density during the ageing and they offer the wide range of aromas. The 2007 Gigondas Tradition possesses extravagant blackberry and cassis fruit, deep, full-bodied flavors, and even more power, structure, and depth than the 2006. With fresh acidity as well as remarkable aromatic penetration, it should provide pleasure for 15 or more years. 91-93 Points Wine Advocate February 2009
Tasted this very great wine today with a friend as we sat at an outside cafe.The weather is changing here in the Northeast to Autumn type weather. Very comfortable weather a nice red wine so while I am still savoring this wine I am going to share it with you. Tasted very strong raspberry notes and I can only explain it using the word muscular.
