Tasting Notes
The Wine Independent 97
La Gaffeliere 2017 is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a bit of coaxing to reveal vibrant notes of crushed red and black plums, boysenberries, and blackberry pie, plus suggestions of spice box, cast-iron pan, and dried lavender. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers muscular black fruit with ripe, grainy tannins and beautiful freshness, finishing long and mineral-laced.
