Medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, focused and with bright acidity and notable tannin, this classic, age-worthy effort offers notions of underbrush, damp earth, ground pepper and spice as well as a core of vibrant fruit on the nose. Drink it over the coming decade or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tFounded in 1905, Clos des Cazaux is run today by Maurice Vache and his two sons, Jean-Michel and Frederic. Covering roughly 60 acres in Gigondas and 37 in Vacqueyras, this estate produces a number of cuvees, with the style being predominantly traditional; however, some new oak barrels are used for the Syrah. This is a rock-solid lineup of wines.\u003cstrong\u003e-Wine Advocate 89-92 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos des Cazaux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948793917487,"sku":"F0EE132007GRM","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/cazaux_gigondas_new_4acd0fa9-7c40-4a6c-bf21-b35f3c5654ac.jpg?v=1771483627","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/cazaux-gigondas-tour-sarrasine-2011","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
