Tasting Note: 2005 Domaine Les Pallieres Gigondas

Ruby red.  Nose opens with obvious raspberry and garrigue (herbs de provence). Perfumed with cedar chest stocked with old blankets.  Lots of vanilla, warm baking spices.  On the palate, this wine has elegance and firm structure.  Finishes with raspberry infused dark chocolate.  

Les Pallieres is a collaboration between Berkeley importer Kermit Lynch and Domaine Vieux Telegraphe.  Made from 60 year old vines.
