A tough wine to like. Mourvèdre needs warmth, and this wine appears to have lacked enough of it to ripen. Shows an earthy, green herb and mint tug to the sweet oak and cherries. Drink now.

A dry, tannic and severe Syrah. It’s tart and sandpapery in the mouth, with a scoury mouthfeel, and although you’ll find some cherries and currants, there’s not enough richness to counterbalance the toughness.

A bit aggressive in tannins, with a sharp, sandpapery bite, and the flavors don’t give enough richness to balance that roughness. Still, it’s a well-structured, dry wine, with pleasant blackberry, blueberry, herb and tobacco flavors. Drink now.

Not quite ripe, with an herbal, almost vegetal taste that cuts across the cherries and red currants. Acidic and tannic, too. This hard, austere wine is unlikely to improve.

Made from Pinot Gris, this dry white wine tastes too oaky in buttered toast, buttered popcorn and caramel. It finishes with raw acidity.
