This medium-bodied blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan delivers just what you'd expect from the appellation, it just does it better than most, at a modest price. Hints of bay leaf and wild thyme ac…

This vivacious white is a beach pour with class. Fresh lemon zest and floral aromas and a combination of white fruit, minerals and citrus on the palate are lively and light, but the wine has some wei…

A smooth and ripe wine, it's full of yellow fruits and pineapple, with just a touch of more herbaceous, citrus flavors. The wine is full-bodied, its acidity a gentle, juicy cut into the rich fruitine…

DTR is Domaine de la Terre Rouge's home site, planted in 1999, and its coolest. Given that, the aromas suggest more ripeness than would be expected, a heady mix of plum and brambly berry, with an und…

Named after the village of Emeringes where the vineyard plots are situated, this wine offers both tannins and the freshest fruit. A red plum-skin texture gives a tight edge that also adds great fresh…

This deliciously warm and ripe wine has swathes of red fruit that are full of energy and richness. It offers a touch of perfumed spice and good acidity. Drink now, although the wine will be better fr…

This ripe wine has rich black fruits, a smoky character and a rounded, full-bodied texture. The old vines bring concentration, while the acidity gives freshness and drinkability now.

This wine has dry tannins and some concentration as well as the bright, cherry-fresh Beaujolais fruit. That gives it a serious side with structure and potential. The 100% Gamay vineyard is on slopes…

This is a soft wine with a great depth of red fruits and fresh acidity. The tannins are light, just a hint of dry behind the fragrant, bright fruitiness. The wine, made from old vines, is ready to dr…

Bright and fresh, this is a totally fruity wine with a more serious edge at the end. Red cherries push through the crisp acidity that offers a zingy texture. The touch of minerality in the 40-year-ol…

Packed with black-cherry flavors, this is a structured wine. Its acidity chimes well with the mineral texture and tangy black-currant and berry flavors. The wine is fruity while still firm and likely…

Creamy notes hover over red apple on the beautifully dry palate. The body is rounded and almost rich, with a touch of bitterness creeping into the autolytic, bready background. This is rounded enough…

This wine offers very ripe and vivid fruit in the aromas and the flavors, like blackberries and dark plums picked when they're just beginning to shrivel. The texture is broad and the body full, but t…

This 50/50 Duras and Syrah blend from father and son Jean Paul and Nicolas Hirissou is a ripe, fruity wine that is attractively mature. It is finely integrated with berry fruits that are lifted by th…

The alcohol doesn't weigh heavily on this rich wine. The wood aging does, at least for now, giving spice and burnt wood aromas. Underneath there are black fruits that are developing into a rich, perf…

This is a fresh and cool wine from the highest of the Beaujolais cru villages. Produced by Céline and Nicolas Hirsch, originally from Alsace, the wine is bright with red cherries and currants. It has…

A structured and concentrated wine that is packed with tannins. It does have some black fruit under this dry structure although the wine misses out on richness. It will be ready to drink from 2017.

There are some fine, dry tannins in this wine along the dark cherry fruit and acidity. It comes from a single vineyard part of the 61-acre estate of Jean-Paul Dubost. There is a ripe feeling here; dr…

This is a fine, ripe wine with a good balance between crisp, mineral acidity and tangy lemon fruit. It has a peppery edge that gives a bite to the young fruit. It is ready to drink although it will b…

There are hints of oak aging in old barrels in this wine. That gives a rich texture to the bright red fruits and perfumed acidity. It is ready to drink now, although with some aging its fruit will me…

Based in the village of Beaujeu, this producer has made a dense wine that needs time for the fruits to develop. It is juicy with acidity that is beginning to show through the tannins. Give this cru w…

There are certainly plenty of tannins here, but they are balanced by rich fruit, strawberry juice flavors and freshness. Structured ripeness is the hallmark here.

Domaine de Roure is the top Crozes-Hermitage from Paul Jaboulet Aîné, and the 2008 is structured and tight, with wood-derived notes of scorched marshmallow and toast layered atop citrusy fruit. Turns…

The Roussanne really shines in the blend, offering rich, ripe, soft, seductive aromas of peaches and apricots, then folding into a broad midpalate with no rough edges. There is a definite peaches-and…
