E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône 2016

A fine intro to the wines of France's revered Rhône region. [...] Flavours of plum, black raspberry and woodsmoke. A robust red to serve with beef stew, gourmet burgers or grilled tamari steaks.
"This classic red blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre from one of the region's definitive producers is always a safe bet. But Guigal's 2016 vintage shows another level of quality that make it truly special. A wine with impressive concentration, depth of flavour and complexity, this is drinking nicely now and over the next two to four years. Score: 91 Pts." - Christopher Waters, The Globe & Mail, June 2020.
