There's undeniable extraction and density here along with quite a full body and ripe tannins. However, excessive reduction makes this one smell a bit too much like a struck match. Decant before serving.

Matured in barrique for 9 months, this blend of Grenache and Syrah features intense cherry aromas accented by red plum notes—maybe even a hint of peach. Yet despite the evident ripeness it’s still on the firm side, with some tea-like tannins on the finish. Drink 2008–2013.

Delicate and perfumed, this is a wonderful lightweight summer rosé that harmoniously marries strawberry and melon notes. Fresh and minerally on the finish. Drink now.

Mourchon’s vineyards are high above the plain, which gives them a unique crisp, spicy character that’s on full display in this 2006. Cranberry and cherry fruit is marked by peppery notes and some slightly hard tannins on the finish. Drink now with beef or lamb.

Hints of caramel and toasted almond mark the nose of this oak-aged wine. The cherry fruit still comes through, especially on the creamy-textured midpalate. Firms up on the finish, adding notes of vanilla and licorice. Drink now–2015.
