As the name suggests, this wine is loaded with herbal notes of the garrigue in the form of a Southern France bouquet garni—rosemary, thyme and menthol—alongside accents of red currant and cherry. Nicely balanced and vibrant on the palate with a medium-length finish.

Starts off a touch funky, but that subsides after a couple of minutes in the glass. Black plum and cassis are strong on the nose and mouth, backed by accents of vanilla, black pepper spice and roasted coffee granules. The finish is long and evolving, moving from black fruit flavors to cherry pits and ending on sweet oak flavors.

Vibrant and lively red fruit aromas blend with fragrant woody spice in the bouquet. The cherry and berry flavors transition to the palate, where somewhat gripping tannins coupled with notes of fudgy brownie and black pepper add depth to the finish.

This 100% Carignan is a great expression of what the grape can do all by itself without any blending buddies. Red cherry and plum mingle with garrigue herbs and a touch of vanilla on the nose. Soft tannins and vibrant acidity lay out the approachable structure, with a lingering finish accented by sweet spice.

A higher-tier (and thus a bit more expensive) offering from Cabezac, this is a lush and attractive wine with a crushed velvet texture and a lingering finish. Seductively aromatic with notes of chocolate, licorice and raspberry sauce leading to flavors of sweet red berry preserves laced with cocoa in the mouth. So decadent and creamy, its an easy choice to drink now.

Blackberry, kirsch and spice fill out the medium intense nose, while more vibrant notes of red cherry and plum abound on the palate. Lightweight with soft, dusty tannins and a solid finish kissed with oak. Drink now.
