Coffee-espresso warmth with black cherry goodness. Rich, deep and dark with a long satisfying finish. Full-bodied palate-whacker. An absolutely incredible price. Love it! Food matches: braised red-meat dishes, lamb shanks.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Voluptuous and crowd-pleasing, it’s brimming with European-style elegance and balance that should appeal to connoisseurs – the oenological equivalent of pop art ... There’s a truckload of dark-skinned fruit flavour here plus typical Rhone savoury notes of licorice and lavender ... with a good dose of crisp acidity to keep things food-friendly and lively. The St. Gervais would be a good partner for braised red-meat dishes, such as lamb shanks. Source: Bob Campbell, MW, bobswinereviews.com
