Our Price
Red wines from the southern Rhone appellation of Gigondas are often likened to those of its famous neighbor, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, but for a fraction of the price. Terroir Daronton's 2020 release exhibits a fruit-forward, ripe style led by Grenache's cherry, raspberry, and violet notes, while splashes of Syrah and Mourvedre add boldness, body, and earthy undertones. For only $20 a piece, procure your share to enjoy alongside savory dishes such as beef stew or mushroom risotto.

Deep magenta. The perfumed nose showcases spice-accented cherry, raspberry and fragrant floral notes. Broad and seamless in texture, offering appealingly sweet red and blue fruit, allspice and licorice flavors and a touch of lavender. Delicate tannins add shape to the persistent, sharply focused finish, which echoes the spice and floral notes.
