A fine follow-up to the great 2007, the new vintage of Mas de Gourgonnier is a Provenceal classic. Mostly a 50/50 blend of Carignan and Grenache, the wine always contains variable amounts of Cabernet Sauvigon and Syrah. In the slightly cooler 2008 vintage, the wine has more grace and finesse than in 2007. A wonderfully complex nose of fresh plums, sandalwood, ginger, cinnamon, lavender, and a hint of game leads to a medium-bodied, finely tanninc wine. Flavors of juniper and cassis get complexity from notes of smoke and roasted meat. A fine complement to any meal, this will drink well now and for another 5+ years.
