90 Jeb Dunnuck - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2011 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Cuvee Gabrielle Rouge is composed of 55% Grenache, 35% Syrah and 10% Carignan from 10 to 80-year-old vines. It was aged in the larger, old oak demi-muids for 11 months and bottled unfiltered. Classic Provencal garrigue notes intermixed with licorice, soy sauce, black currants and black cherries emerge from this medium-bodied, fruity red. There is not a lot of tannin or acidity in this plump, corpulent 2011, so enjoy it over the next 2-4 years."
