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

We aimed for maximum drinkability: plenty of hedonistic purple-tinged fruit, along with a hint of wild herbs and lovely lavender and violet notes.

Violets and dark berries dominate the palate, with a pleasant wild side lurking below the surface.

An aged magnum from this venerable producer is never a bad idea, as we at KLWM can happily attest.

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

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.

Stony and smoky, and full of garrigue and black cherry, it is an epic wine that opens up wonderfully now.

Nothing says “life of the party” like a magnum of our best Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is the perfect pairing for your holiday roast!

A fresh, pure entry point to the Rhône’s great reds with aromas and flavors of black cherries, stones, and a hint of black olive.

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