Lithe, perfumed, graceful and yet ample in its delicious fruit and length. Unlike most wines made in the style, Gauby always manages to have this tannic framework and structure that is tense and fine boned yet yielding at just the right moment. Dried red cherry, crushed berries, blood orange, chaparral, wet leaves, black tea, potpourri, rose petal, candied apple, cinnamon, clove. Has some natural leanings but pleasantly so. — 20 days ago
At the price, I loved this!
Bramble ‘Forrest fruit’ nose; full flavoured with great balance and acidity, mouth filling dark fruit but well judged vinification without over extraction! Would happy buy 3 cases! — 10 days ago
So delightful!
These rating scales don’t do justice to wonderful wines like this one. If you are looking for a 90+ banger of a wine, then you’ll miss the joy you get from this kind of straightforward pure expression of south Rhone Grenache. It’s so flexible and friendly with so many foods.
If you’ve been drinking $10 wines, then step up to this one and enjoy its clean friendly flavor. If you’ve been snobbishly drinking $25+ wines, then you’re also missing the simple joys of a great table wine like this. — 5 days ago
Excellent, had the 2018 and 2019 is it’s equal. Had it with rump steak, but still think it’s more suited to duck or lamb. — 10 days ago
Really incredible. Slightly carbonic and nice funk. Really good chilled. Definitely something to grab when you come across it. — 8 days ago
Citrus/lemon and minerals upfront. Then a quick lemon fade to the finish. Then lingering minerals. Nice layers — 8 days ago

Remarkable peach and kumquat flavors So exotic yet so bright, mineral, and acid. Almost completely dry but with a generosity and texture reminiscent of a sweet wine. One of my favorite whites of all time. Just stunning. — 16 days ago
