Languedoc 'Les Darons' |
Potent aromas of bold cherry and berry fruits meet with prominent clove, nutmeg and caramel-candy aromas on the approachable nose of this bottling, which is mostly Grenache with a "little" Syrah and even less Carignan. The richness of the berry-laden palate is cut by flashes of garrigue and thyme, accented with a peppery finish. Best Buy. |

Bailly Lapierre |
Cremant de Bourgogne 'Vive-la-Joie' Rose |
Salmon-gold in color, cheerful aromas of rose hip, hibiscus, and brioche open on the nose guided by cherry strudel and red raspberry. The palate is balanced with an attractive undercurrent of breadiness that tussles with a vibrant streak of acidity which ultimately prevails on the finish. |

Languedoc 'Les Darons' |
There's an intense ripeness and bold power to this blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah from the Languedoc, offering dark boysenberry aromas at the core sprinkled with hints of garrigue. Grippy tannins frame the berry-driven sip, which benefits from pinches of thyme and pepper on the palate. |

La Tire' Fitou |
Fresh violet, lavender, thyme, and blueberry aromas entice the nose on this blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Carignan. The palate is also lively, picking up hints of rosemary and black-raspberry, plus a brisk pepper spice that adds to the complexity. |

Marziano Abbona |
Barolo Ravera |
Cherry, blackberry, iron, tar and eucalyptus flavors mingle in this rich and solidly built red. Builds to the finish as dense, dusty tannins emerge, yet the lasting impression is of fruit. Fine balance. Best from 2029 through 2047. |
