Bouissiere makes one of the best Gigondas for the money you'll ever find, but their "Les Amis" blend is an even better value.  A blend of Grenache, Syrah plus a little Merlot, the 2008 Les Amis once again gives the impression of being a "baby Gigondas."  Aromas of black cherry, kirsch, earth and a hint of lavender jump out of the glass.  In the mouth, the wine is silky and fresh, with more cherry and raspberry fruit, earth, a hint of herb and maybe even a note of fresh ground coffee.  The finish is clean and bright with very light, ripe, tannin.  A great everyday Rhone value!
