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.

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.

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

Brambly, rustic, savory, and joyous, this is as perfect a house red from the Rhône as you’ll find.

There’s a gentle veil of minerality, and the nose is expansive, making way for notes that are more spiced than fruity.

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

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

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

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

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.
