Nov. 08, 2012 DOMAINE LES PALLIÈRES Gigondas Les Racines 2010 (92 points, $50)

Very juicy but refined, featuring a blood orange and clove frame to the core of blackberry, plum and cherry fruit. Alder and singed vanilla bean hints, along with an echo of tobacco, grace the finish. Finely beaded acidity should let this come together fully with mid-term cellaring. Best from 2014 through 2022. 1,089 cases imported. —James Molesworth
