2020 Mas de Daumas Gassac IGP Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert, France Monthelie Les Riottes It was bottled in JanuaryThe newest vintage of this classic Languedoc red is a solid effort. The 2020 IGP Saint Guilhem le Desert is 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, with no more than 6% of any other single grape variety present. Naturally, cassis elements lead the way, backed by black cherries and herbal notes, plus a subtle, barely noticeable layer of cedar tying everything together. It's medium to full bodied, streamlined and smooth in feel, with a long, silky, elegant finish. Best
