One of the most consistently excellent wines in the Southern Rhone, in 2020 this soars to new heights. The balanced, soft, feel makes this too easy to drink now, but it will improve for 15 years with ease.
Ripe, juicy, soft and delicious, this blend of Grenache and Syrah from a couple of hours drive southeast of Rioja drinks like Spanish Cotes du Rhone. At a price very few Cotes du Rhones can match any longer!
Organic/Bio Once again, simply the best rosé we’ll offer this year. Actually, perhaps the best Provençal rosé we’ve offered ever! Because the 2022 edition of this pink classic is simply sublime.... Read More

Lower ABV On first taste, my thoughts: It's like Gamay and Cabernet Franc had a baby. Then, Maybe more like Mencia and Carmenere? Then, What a fabulous bistro red! Turns out all of those thoughts apply. This is wildly, crazy,... Read More
