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

It’s a gem, and you won’t be disappointed.

Clairette, an unsung hero of the south, is the main grape here, undoubtedly one of many key elements to this singular wine.

This dark, autumnal rosé is a beacon of tradition in a sea of paler styles.

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

Elevation and abundant limestone combine to give taut, high-toned wines with delicate floral aromas and stimulating mineral freshness.

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.

Rich fruitiness on the palate recalls ripe strawberries, and then notes of spice and licorice kick in for a full-bodied, full-flavored finish that marries beautifully with ratatouille or smoked pork chops.

This Gigondas—densely concentrated and deeply opaque—is more refined than meets the eye.

Deep, dynamic Grenache feels aptly highlighted by bright and fresh Clairette. Soft and rich, yet still defined.
