A beautiful nose full of classic garrigue-infused herbaceousness is supported by notes of raspberry-sage preserves and sweet spiced baked fruit. The mouth lacks a certain vibrancy, though, with a lig…

This 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon blend is a fruity, rustic wine, with broad mixed berry and cherry flavors. They lead into an earthy and tannic (and short) finish.
This example shows a bit more character than many Pays d'Oc Chardonnays. Pretty scents of lemon and honeysuckle lead to a palate with above-average concentration and lovely lemon meringue pie flavors…

This rustic, herbal Tinto Fino has tarry blackberry and cassis aromas that turn horsey, minty and herbal on a nose that struggles to hold up. After hinting at savory berries, flavors turn green, bitt…

Extremely sweet and extremely sugary, this wine smells like honeydew melon, and tastes as rich as the simple syrup used in cocktails.
Gritty berry and plum aromas are blocky. This feels choppy, almost rocky, while baked berry flavors ramble towards a spicy, sappy finish with stewed fruit notes and some residual heat.
Saucy aromas of stewed plum and tomato ragu lack clarity. This is midlevel Cabernet, with a light bounce to its step. Generic cherry, cassis and licorice flavors finish with acidic kick but no sense…
