The name may be eccentric (it refers to a cannon that was found in the region), but the wine is just pure pleasure. It is perfumed but dry. Despite its aromatics it’s a fine food pairing for Chinese food and has enough acidity to keep it poised and light.

A big, bold wine, from the biodynamically run Cazes domaine, packed with firm but ripe tannins and black, dense fruits. There is structure, intensity and aging potential to this wine. It pairs with a lighter wine, called, inevitably, Ego.

This red vin doux naturel (think Port) is made from Grenache, and is ready to drink now. It’s a sweet wine, but the sugar is balanced by tannins and berry flavors that give the wine some freshness. It could work with many cheeses, poured over ice cream, as well as on its own.

Marie Gabrielle is a member of the latest generation of the Cazes family to run the large domaine of 400 acres in Roussillon. The blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, aged only in large vats, is fresh, juicy and ready to drink. A fine wine for barbecue.

The Cazes estate is the largest in Roussillon, in the driest area of France. This blend of Syrah and Merlot, dominated by spicy, peppery Syrah, is full of rich fruit, with just a hint of jammy Merlot to bring out the fruit. Great fruit flavors and a delicious juicy finish. Imported by Metrowine Distribution.

A fresh, fruity style of rosé, with intense raspberry flavors, a touch of caramel and just a touch of acidity. It’s fresh enough to last until the next sunshine hits in the spring. Imported by Metrowine Distribution.

In a white wine as young as this, it’s the Muscat that dominates the aromas. The Viognier is much more present to taste, with its apricot flavors that shine through the Muscat perfumes and bring a sense of depth and richness to the wine. Imported by Metrowine Distribution.

A ripe, juicy, easy-drinking wine, a blend of half and half Syrah and Merlot. Carbonic maceration – as used in Beaujolais Nouveau – has given a soft, freshly acidic red-fruited wine.

One of a pair of blends of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre (the other is called Alter), this is soft, with fine red fruits, and a touch of wood. It is layered with red plums, acidity and ripe tannins.
