“The nose is seduced by aromas of wild strawberries, purple plums, garrigue and damp earth. The palate provides additional complexity with layers of cassis, clove and stone. Youthful tannins beautifully integrate and are balanced by acidity, allowing this wine to be enjoyed now or cellar well through 2030+ before revisiting.”

“Fresh blackberries and black cherries mingle with rhubarb and violets on the nose. The palate is a bit restrained and straightforward with a firm stone finish. Tannins integrate well, making it a great pairing with complex dishes such as lamb tagine.”

“Fresh aromatic layers of mint sit atop crushed red cherriesand wild strawberries, with light clove and thyme on the nose. The palate is rich and enticing with black cherries, plums, rhubarb, pomegranate seeds, black olives and freshly picked rosemary leaves. Tremendous texture, structure, and refreshing acidity carry this wine to a robust finish of orange zest and black tea leaves.”

“This is a fragrant Syrah redolent of blackcurrants, green olives and violets. It’s a vibrant, concentrated wine that’s lipsmacking with fresh black-cherry flavors etched with herbs and smoke. An immediately enjoyable yet complex wine wrapped up in layers of fine, silky tannins.”

“A Syrah-dominant blend augmented by Grenache, this perfumed Côtes du Rhône is redolent of violets and blueberries. While luscious in concentration, it’s brightly balanced in acidity too, offsetting flavors of black plum and blackberry with twists of sour-cherry acidity. A supple wine with chalky, persistent tannins that’s ready to drink now.”
