This is its Gigondas, a Grenache-led blend with Syrah and Mourvèdre. 2004 was a good, classically balanced southern Rhône vintage.

Critics Ratings
"A feminine, elegantly styled Gigondas, Cabasse's 2004 Gigondas gives up pretty floral, red fruits and spice aromas and flavors in its medium-bodied, silky and supple personality. A classic, foudre-aged blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre (all completely destemmed)." - Jeb Dunnuck, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Apr 2014)
