This velvety red blend of 75% Syrah and 25% Grenache is dark and heady but approachable and easily drinkable now. Boysenberry and black cherry flood the bouquet, accented by notes of purple flowers and cola. Balanced and lush in the mouth, the black raspberry fruit and peppery spice carry through to the long, evolving finish.

Of the many Mas du Soleilla offerings, this one is the lightest of the bunch with bright and lively notes of cherry Jell-O, sweet strawberry and a touch of fresh thyme. The tannins are light but there, with accents of waxy clove and weak coffee on the close. Drink now.

Made of 50% Carignan, 25% Syrah and 25% Grenache, there’s a touch of acetone in the nose here but it’s countered by notes of black fruit, small wild berries and garrigue herbs. Still tightly wound with firm tannins and assertive acidity, the mouth is rich and fruity, exhibiting strong cherry and berry flavors.

This 75% Roussanne/25% Bourboulenc blend beautifully expresses its terroir by way of a nose full of garrigue herbs—predominantly fresh thyme and bay leaves—against a backdrop of red apple aromas. The palate is rich and full, with flavors of wood-grilled stone fruit, toasted walnuts and orange essence.

With 80% Syrah, 20% Grenache and 15 months in oak, this is a big, powerful wine loaded with rich fruit and sultry spice. Dark cherry, cigar box, cinnamon and cardamom abound on the nose, with more kirsch, pepper and allspice unfolding on the palate. Creamy and lush in the mouth with a long, evolving finish full of mocha and dark chocolate-covered cherries. Delicious now or hold for 2-3 years.

If you need convincing of the true potential of the La Clape region of Languedoc, look no futher. This is a delicate yet complex wine of true character and depth with a beautiful bouquet of rich dark fruit, tea leaves, leather and menthol. The mouth, smooth and lush, is loaded with intense plum, cherry, spice and pepper. The balance is fantastic, making this an easy wine to enjoy now or an excellent candidate to hold for 3–5 years.
