Lornano |
Chianti Classico |
Crushed rock, wild herbs and Sambuca flowers mingle with cherries and strawberries on a mostly savory nose that transitions into a palate that’s richer and juicier but still savory with crushed rocks and tar. A saline through line and sturdy tannins provide integrity. Best Buy. |

Garnacha 'El Chaparral de Vega Sindoa' |
Lifted, peppery nose with red fruit. Strawberries, red cherries and plenty of white pepper and peppercorn funk. Juicy and pretty intense on the medium-bodied palate with tight, dusty tannins and a long, tangy finish. Quite elegant and spicy, although it can be mono-dimensional for some. Drink now. |

Coteaux d'Aix en Provence Rose |
The 2022 Rosé wafts up with a lovely blend of spring flowers, white strawberries and chamomile. It opens with a pretty inner sweetness, as juicy acidity enlivens its ripe orchard fruits, and spice hints add contrast toward the close. This finishes with decent length and outstanding balance. Inner rose tones and mint slowly fade. Gorgeous. The 2022 Rosé is a blend of 40% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Caladoc. |

Rose Marina 'Collection' Coteaux d'Aix en Provence |
The 2022 Rosé Cuvée Marina Collection is a pale pink with orange hues. It entices with a subtle blend of white cherries, spice, orange zests and wet stone. This is texturally thrilling, silky verging on oily with vibrant acidity that adds abundant energy. Ripe orchard fruits and strawberry tones swirl across a core of tactile minerality. It finishes energetic and with tremendous length, leaving the palate completely refreshed as suggestions of lime-tinged pear slowly disappear. It’s nearly impossible to stop at one glass. |
