The 2001 Gigondas Cuvee l’Estale, a tank-fermented and aged blend of 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah, is a deep ruby-colored, fruit-driven, medium to full-bodied, supple-textured effort revealing abundant quantities of sweet blueberry and cassis fruit intermixed with floral and crushed stone components. Drink it over the next decade. Importer: a Patrick Lesec Selection, various American importers, including Stacole Fine Wines, Boca Raton, FL; tel. (561) 998-0039, Classic Wines, Boston, MA; tel.
