Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
“Schist” is the soil for this wine. Old vine Syrah, Grenache and Carignan give a dusty, tannic structure to the biodynamically grown fruit, which is packed with pure acidity and flavors of herbs and black plum skins.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A very southern rosé, warm and ripe, with caramel and red fruit flavors as well as a crisp burst of acidity. A blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, it’s a great food wine for the Mediterranean diet. Like most rosés it’s a drink-now wine, as it won’t improve with age.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A blend of Grenache and Syrah from the biodynamic Borie la Vitarelle estate. It’s a typically ripe southern wine, but with a good tannic structure that underlies the raisin and blackberry flavors.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A simple, fresh, juicy blend of Merlot and Grenache with soft tannins and a friendly, ripe finale. Its warmth chimes well with its name: cigales are the cicadas whose noise enlivens a Mediterranean evening.
