Arnoux & Fils Vacqueyras...
$95.00Rather than a date, this cuvée is about paying tribute to the beginning of the vintner history in our family. Product of the oldest vines in our family estate, this wine delivers itself in an intense garnet color, deep and attractive. It exudes a powerful bouquet in which touches of vanilla flirt with notes of red fruits, crushed strawberries, cherries, all on a tenderly spiced background. The mouth matches the nose's complexity, on a beautiful texture. wrapped by lovely tannins, ever present but sumptuously silky. It smoothly evolves toward a melting finish in which the perfect dose of wood embraces passionately the aromas from fruit ... An hymn to sensuality ...
70 % Grenache, 30 % Syrah. -
Domaine Cros de Romet Cairanne
$48.00A delicious medium/full-bodied red wine, rustic, but entirely pleasing wine with aromas of plums and blackberries. On the palate dark purple, inky, with gorgeous ripe blackberry and notes of herbs, black pepper, black olive. This is a top boutique Rhone wine for the price! “…Deep ruby in colour. Exotic, intensely perfumed bouquet evokes red and dark berry preserves, licorice, violet and smoky herbs. … Open-knit and already drinking well but this wine’s depth and finishing power suggest that it will reward patience.” Blend: Grenache 80%, Syrah 20%

Domaine Maby "La Fermade"...
$38.00TASTING: “Pale flint colour. The nose gives a buzzy, open aroma of pear with apricot, has a fat, southern nature, notes of lime, a drift of salt. The palate retains the squeezy, juicy nature suggested by the nose. This is fun drinking, a plump appeal at its heart, the length sound, too. It finishes clearly, some nuttiness there.
The crop has been well ripened, and that shows in its texture and fatness.” (John Livingstone, June 2017)
Blend: Grenache 43%, Clairette 39%, Picpoul 18% -
Domaine Maby "Prima Donna"...
$38.00T A S T I N G “Red robe with scarlet touches. The nose has a comfortable depth of bright red cherry fruit, some strawberry, a good and vibrant mix with the depth for drinking à table. It’s a little reserved, and will blossom further over time.

Domaine Maby "Libiamo"...
$48.00“Fine red robe. The oak brings a layer of toffee to the aroma, backed by crushed strawberry, a sweet centre, cherry liqueur. This is distinct from other Tavel 2016s through a fine concentration of red fruit flanked by a sweet caramel or toffee-like cushion. It works on a patiné, smooth texture, the length aided by its oak. It is something of an acquired taste.” (John Livingstone, June 2017)

Domaine Maby "Bel Canto"...
$63.00TASTING : “Quite a deep red robe. The palate accentuates the appeal of mature Grenache vine fruit, with a very clear detail in its plum fruit, a savoury middle, and nourishing tannins increasing its complexity and depth after the mid-point. This is a serious wine, and there should be more Liracs of this quality. The late moments are nicely peppery, and the finish is complete, with the tang of the tannins extending nicely, the length lovely.” (John Livingstone, June 2017)

Arnoux & Fils Lestours...

All the intensity of the nose may be found in mouth, on a background structured by healthy tannins full of masculinity and packed in a full body. The finish is long and opens some late pepper touches that define its specificity. Blend: Grenache 70%, Syrah 20%, Mourvedre 10%
