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

An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.

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

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

This thirst-quenching, bright, and plummy red is enhanced with a little bit of chill and perfect for grillables.

Another delectable wine from the Brunier family, with a complex mouth-feel that finishes with refreshing acidity.

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.

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

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 bears a rich bouquet of wild strawberry, flowers, garrigue, and sweet spices, culminating in a long, stony finale.
