The flavors are mostly deep and dark—stones, licorice, black olive, and blackberry—but the frame is lithe.

Black olive, fig, and rosemary abound in this easy-to-love, soulful southern Rhône red.

Full-bodied yet delicate, infused with the joie de vivre of the south of France.

Grenache is joined by Syrah and a drop of Mourvèdre to create this delightful everyday red scented of herbes de Provence and ripe black cherry.

This lovely Muscat is full of fresh honeysuckle and ripe citrus fruit.

The palate is dense and ripe, yet wonderfully smooth and elegant. Racines seems to tap into the history of Les Pallières, the prestige and the high-toned elegance.

Deep, concentrated, and refreshingly saline, this is like great Cornas with Mediterranean influences.

This is about as quaffable as the region’s rouges get.

Leydiers at Domaine de Durban are particularly proud of their Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, a vin doux naturel, as they are among the last to craft it in the traditional style.

La Sagesse carries the full flavor, succulence, and savoriness we associate with Grenache on a graceful and lively frame.
