The 2000 Gavilan is a Rhone-like blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Viognier that has been co-fermented and aged in French oak barrels, of which 75% was new. The Viognier dominates the wine's aromatics at present, offering up exotic honeysuckle and peach-like aromas. This ripe, soft, and pleasurable, but a bit kinky (and undoubtedly controversial) wine will drink well for 2-3 years.Tel. (707) 254-4200; Fax (707) 254-4201
