A soft, somewhat unfocused wine that offers some light herbaceous character. Pleasant when well chilled.

A real pink candy wine, that is soft, just off dry, with freshness and some acidity, but more of the lightly sweet fruit.

A ripe, chunky wine with smooth red fruits, light tannins and a light, fresh finish marked by acidity, but also some softness. The name “Fat Bastard” is a British expression of praise for a big wine.

A big, fruity wine with spicy, dry fruits, flavors of blackberries and ripe plums, and a warm, ripe feel. This is big stuff, with solid, dark tannins and a toasty wood finish. It demands big food.

The story is simply told. A tasting session between Thierry Boudinaud of Rhône producers Gabriel Meffre and British wine merchant Guy Anderson produced a wine that Anderson, using an affectionate British term to describe a big wine, called “a fat bastard.” A range of wines and a memorable name were born. This dry, firm Cabernet is packed with black currant and wood flavors and ripe fruits. “Limited Release” refers to the rarity of releases of this wine—the previous vintage was in 1998.

This lightly toasty, vanilla-flavored wine shows good, light, tropical flavors. It opens well, with green plums and ripe fruit.
