The Vouvray-based négociant, Marc Brédif, has made a ripe, soft Chinon, reveling in the sweet fruit of 2005. It has some good, smoked-meat flavors to go with the black fruits. Drink now. 1 Note

This seductive Cabernet Franc opens up with aromas of cherry, vanilla and spice leading into layers of blackberry, plum, cinnamon and cedar on the palate. Fruit and spice are balanced here, and medium tannins means the wine can age. Paired with roasted duck or beef, the wine is a sure hit. 1 Note

The alcohol is nice and modest on this dry wine, and it has a pleasantly soft feeling as you sip it. Then there are the cherry and herb flavors that are complex and appealing. It’s a lovely wine to drink now. 1 Note

This is a Beaujolais-like California rosé. It’s light in body, aromatic, clean and zippy in acids and fruity, with raspberry, strawberry, vanilla cream and nutmeg flavors. Chill it and then watch how it changes as it warms up on the table. 1 Note

A nice blush wine with a fancy address. It’s medium- to ull-bodied, with lush raspberry and cherry flavors, and Provençal-style herbs. Totally dry. 1 Note

Chunky, fruity, lots of oak; yes, it’s the perfect bistro wine. Raspberry and vanilla aromas, some red licorice on the chewy palate, and then a snappy finish that hangs around for a while. It’s Cab Franc Napa-style, and for a youthful wine, it’s easy to drink but still offers enough nuance and character to satisfy the discerning wine drinker. 1 Note

Over time this Cab Franc has been a good performer for Morandé. It’s dark and endowed with aromas of chocolate, campfire, coconut, lemon peel and black fruit. The palate is plush and sweet, with big tannins and fierceness to the finish. It’s all about power and depth. 1 Note

The structure is all here, dark and dry, with plenty of fresh acidity over the red currants. This revels in its fruit flavors, touched with smokiness and dry tannins. To finish, the wine lifts into vibrant ripe fruits. 1 Note

A great summer rosé, which is packed with red fruits, raspberries and freshness. The fruit is ripe, but not too full-bodied, showing some nutty flavors along with the toast and finishing with fine, clean acidity. Imported by Paterno Wines International. 1 Note

Dark in color, full in flavor, this is a big, strong, almost heavy blush wine. Black raspberries, apricot sorbet, red cherry purée, even a hint of tangerine zest, with nice acidity. 1 Note
