Sweet, light and fruity from top to bottom: Coconut, cherry and chocolate aromas kick it off, and segue to cherry and raspberry flavors on the palate. A simple, easy quaffer. 1 Note

Red fruit dominates this value-priced, Syrah-based powerhouse from Laurent Miquel, with notes of red plum guts, cherry and raspberry throughout the bouquet and palate. Accents of bramble and rosemary add some complexity to the medium-weight mouth. The tannins are well-structured and the acidity balanced, with a cocoa-infused finish that lingers nicely. 1 Note

From the black and white label—handwritten and casual—to the name (jaja is the local slang for the region’s fruity red wines) to the wine itself, this is the friendly face of the south of France. Château de Jau, in Roussillon hard by the Pyrenees mountains, houses a modern arts center. This blend of Syrah and Grenache is robust and fruity, as is typical from the hottest, driest area of France. It is a wine fit for stews or, if the weather is sunny, served chilled with cold meats and cheeses. 1 Note

Simple but honest, this Pays d’Oc red offers up garrigue and spice notes on the nose, which yield to a plummy, lightweight palate and a short, prune-infused finish. Drink up. 1 Note

Aromas of fresh tomato, citrus peel and red fruits are a touch austere, but the mouth and flavors are more generous. The palate is well balanced and the flavors run sweet, ripe and chewy, with berry fruit and creamy licorice notes on the finish. A blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Garnacha from Catalonia. 1 Note

This effort from the Bieler family is a plump, round offering, with moderate complexity and an attractive medium-pink color. Hints of chocolate, leather and spice mark the nose, while cherry fruit comes through on the finish. 1 Note
