While we review and enjoy offerings from Domaine Bousquet<\/a> at a regular frequency, it\u2019s been a few years since we\u2019ve tried anything from the Gaia<\/a> branch of their portfolio. A refresher on Gaia: These wines are 100% organic and grown at an altitude of 1,200 meters in the foothills of the Andes, where cooler temperatures promote optimal grape development. The wines are then aged in French oak barrels anywhere from eight to 10 months.<\/p>\n

2022 Domaine Bousquet Organic Gaia Malbec<\/strong> \u2013 Loads of red fruit and violet, followed with time by raspberry and blackberry on the finish. There\u2019s quite a bit of oak running throughout, providing a mild amount of spice and dimension. It never strays too far from the assignment of being a classic Malbec from Mendoza. It\u2019s still the leader of Team Gaia and a solid buy, even with the slight price increase. A- \/ $25<\/strong><\/p>\n

2022 Domaine Bousquet Organic Gaia Cabernet Sauvignon<\/strong> \u2013 Restrained at first with notes of strawberry, currant, and cherry, finishing with layers of black peppercorn, graphite, and spice. Ample acidity and tannins frame this full-bodied bottle nicely; decanting this for half an hour or longer is the correct move. B+ \/ $25<\/strong><\/p>\n

2022 Domaine Bousquet Organic Pinot Noir Ros\u00e9<\/strong> \u2013 Vibrant and lively, with a soft nose of orange zest, strawberry, and white flowers that oscillates gently with every sip. The strawberry influence remains dominant but is tempered by some minerality towards the conclusion. There\u2019s mild complexity here, but it also remains highly approachable and easy-drinking. All of this to say: Bousquet loves its ros\u00e9 and makes it okay, but there isn\u2019t a way I wouldn\u2019t drink this all day. B+ \/ $20<\/strong><\/p>\n
