Wine Review Archive -
France, Languedoc-Roussillon, Red
($19). Absolutely delicious,
with Rhone-like concentration to the
black currant and berry flavors, black
pepper and bittersweet chocolate notes
and long, focused finish. Ready to drink
now and over the next three or four
years. (World Wide Wine 08/07)
($28). Ripe, opulent cassis and blueberry
fruit is laced with mocha, espresso and
brown spices, with a long finish and balancing
acidity. Ready to drink now and over the
next three or four years. (World Wide
Wine 08/07)
($28). Juicy red berry and plum flavors
are accented with plenty of fresh herbs
and a touch of mocha. Stays focused through
the mouthwatering finish. Ready to drink
now. (World Wide Wine 08/07)
($35).
A wonderful example of the new face
"Vin de Pays" out of the the
Languedoc, this offers deep black currant,
blackberry, espresso, licorice and a
touch of game on a smooth, supple frame.
A blend of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon
and Syrah. Long, lush, focused finish.
Delicious now and over the next four
or five years. (World Wide Wine 08/07)
($17). Appealing
earthy notes underlie the focused black
plum and currant fruit, picking up smoky,
roasted herbs through the long finish.
Ready to drink now. (World Wide Wine 08/07)
($18).
Another appealing choice from this Languedoc
producer, offering layers of red plum
and cherry fruit, baking spices and
a touch of minerality. Focused, if moderate,
finish. Ready to drink now. (Weekend
Wine 12/07)
($30). Concentrated
plum and currant flavors offer plenty
of zip, with warm spicy notes that carry
through the long finish. 100% Syrah. Ready
to drink now and over the next three or
four years. (Weekend Wine 04/07)
($20). Medium-bodied
and food friendly, with bright blackberry
and wild blueberry fruit laced with dried
herbs and peppery oak notes that linger
on the moderate finish. Ready to drink
now and over the next couple of years.
(Weekend Wine 05/08)
($7). A good example of the solid values
coming out of this region, this wine shows
plum and berry fruit with an all French
stone note, and a touch of pepper. Ready
to drink now and over the next couple
of years. (Weekend Wine, 08/01)
