This would be a nice everyday table wine if the price weren’t so high. Vanilla, dried spices and jammy berry fruit make a statement on the nose, but the fruit isn’t as assertive in the mouth, yielding some stewed berries and bright, lemony acids. The vintage was a difficult one, so look for better things from this label next year. Imported by Palm Bay Imports.

Fully ripe and New World clean, this 60-40 blend from the Languedoc is part of a new venture from the Bordeaux-based Cazes family. Vanilla and black cherry flavors seem a bit simple, but will amply satisfy basic burger needs. Imported by Palm Bay Imports.

Beautifully concentrated aromas precede flavors of violets, pepper, sweet spice, plum and red berries. The wine is full and round in the mouth with excellent acidity and tannin. A little tight and closed right now, it should open up to be even more balanced and better integrated in 2–3 years.

A ripe and rich wine with black cherry, strawberry, lilac and rosemary notes on the nose. The mouth is full with a satiny texture and hints of tea leaves, structured by firm tannins and medium acidity. Aged in French oak for 12 months, it has a long and evolving finish marked by a lovely vanilla note.
