Wine Reviews
Meaty and smoky undertones to this rich and full-bodied Moulin-a-Vent. Swathes of dark berry fruit, mocha and spice box are wrapped up in firm and chalky tannins. Long and powerful
Tavel is known for its dark and savory rosés, and this bottle delivers. It has juicy notes of cherries, berry jam, and citrus along with some savory hints of tomato leaf and herbs. It has refreshing acidity and offers a bit of a grip on the palate, making it the ideal rosé to enjoy with food by the beach.
A grilled pineapple aroma is this Chardonnay’s lip-smacking “hello.” Other aromas include a bit of saline and pine needles. The wine’s bright acidity helps create a crisp mouthfeel as well as livening up flavors of nectarines and toasted filberts. Try this wine with creamy Tuscan chicken pasta dish
A silky, medium- to full-bodied red, with notes of ripe raspberry and black currant, bay leaf and marjoram, violet, sweet smoke and gravel opening nicely on the palate. Trim and well-meshed, with the generous flavor profile wrapped around sinewy tannins.
A round, rich version, with cherry, plum, leather and spice aromas and flavors. Tips toward the tannins in the end, where they exert themselves on the finish, yet the lasting impression is of sweet fruit and mineral, so be patient.
