Medium-deep reddish copper colour. Nose of raspberries, ripe mango, toast and spice. Left in the sun — an occupational hazard of rosé in the summer — the aromas turn to milk chocolate–dipped strawberries, but this is better drunk well-chilled. On the palate are mixed ripe red berries with offsetting acidity and a hint of tannic backbone for structure. From a good vintage, but drink soon anyway.
On the nose, blackberry and blackcurrant with elusive floral scents — together with notes of cinnamon and clove — shift to dominant black cherry and dark plum flavours in the mouth. Chewy tannins with a touch of baker’s chocolate give plenty of weight. Well-integrated fruit and oak on the finish.
Merlot seems quite dominant on the nose with typical earthy plum and green herbal notes. Rich dark fruit with good depth of flavour reflects the ripeness of the vintage. Tannins are solid though approachable, and finish is already harmoniously integrated. Drinking well now but can age gracefully.
An inviting nose of blackberry, cherry-kirsch, campfire smoke and vanilla spice. The fruit is quite intense on the palate with soft tannins and gorgeous spice to balance it out. For drinking now with rack of lamb or any beef dish. A comfort wine made from Cab Sauv, Merlot, Syrah and Grenache.
Ruby-purplish. Mixed small red fruits, a touch of spice. A slight vegetal edge brings freshness. Very soft on the palate; velvety tannins; medium to full body with a nice roundness. It finishes barely firm with good length. Ready to drink, it will go nicely with charcuteries.
A blend of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Mourvèdre, this is one hot wine for the price. It’s a dark ruby colour with rich cassis, currants, raspberry, pencil shavings, eucalypt, spice and smoky aromas on the nose. The fruits are rich and savoury in the mouth with lovely integrated spices, cedar and a subtle minty note on the finish. Serve with grilled meats.
Ruby colour with a purple rim. Intense blackcurrant hits you first along with other black fruits and well-dosed oak. Quite firm at this early stage of its life, its compact body will need time to express its full potential. Very well made, it has a great future.
