This barrel-fermented blend of Grenache Blanc, Vermentino and Roussanne features hints of toasted hazelnuts, but also plenty of ripe pear flavors and touches of spice and acacia blossom. The texture is lush, the flavors bold, just fading a bit in intensity on the finish.

At first, the aromas are lean and mildly pickly, with just some cranberry popping through. On the palate, it’s quite the same scenario: the first flavors are of green peppers and tangy berries. With time, however, things come together and those green, sour notes slip to the rear and are replaced by riper cherry, spice and modest tannins.

Take a whiff and you’ll get a combination of sweet and spicy fruit done up with notes of sandalwood and incense. The palate is mostly raspberry with a hint of chocolate, and although the feel is fairly lean, tangy and edgy, there’s enough smoothness and girth here to register some positive points. Best Buy.

There’s a distinct salinity to this Chard, complementing the green apple and hard peach flavors. Notes of sweet lemony citrus linger on the mouthwatering finish.

A recent discovery, this Chardonnay (yes, Chardonnay) has a striking bouquet of flowers, spices, honey and nuts, then adds a peachy fruit component on the palate. It's medium in weight, with a lush texture and a long finish. A super bargain to drink over the summer months.

Clean and approachable with soft brioche and toasted hazelnut character among the bright peach, pear and white floral notes. Full but clean; drink now.

Powerful, layered and rather deep, with a rugged yet pure bouquet. The palate is laser-beam forward, with hints of lemony oak supporting cherry and blackberry fruit. For a full-bodied wine with plenty of drive, give this a try. It shouldn’t disappoint, especially if you like a full-bodied, fruit-laden wine. Best Buy.

This blend of Grenache Blanc and Vermentino offers slightly floral aromas that hint at apricot or peach, then follows those up with similar flavors and just a touch of spice on the finish. Marrenon is emerging as a dependable source for value wines from the Luberon.

Deep ruby color. Multiple layers of aromas, ripe cherry-berry fruit, baking spice, toasty vanilla, leather and roasted meat. Full-bodied, smooth and richly textured. Supple tannins with just enough grip to give a moderately taut structure. Very flavorful with lots of wild forest fruits, baked plum pie, nutmeg, cinnamon, fine herbs and gamy notes. Quite extracted but balanced and fresh.

Starts off with a hint of rubber on the nose, but also herbs and black cherries that deepen on the palate into flavors of plum, chocolate and licorice. It’s medium-weight and also quite sturdy and tannic, finishing with notes of black tea.
