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

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

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

This festive sparkling wine is vinified following the ancient tradition of one of the most gorgeous corners of France, where small hills grow into small mountains on the flanks of the Alps.

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

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

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.

Dark-fruited, with fresh acidity and stony tannins, it’s about as versatile as reds come from the south of France.

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

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