Lighter color. Smells a bit of barnyard with a swamp-y side. With a berry and cherry undertone. Flavors are complex and fun. Riper than expected. Tasty too. Straight berry stuff. Lovely. — a month ago

Rich and and mild. Delicious and perfectly balanced. Too bad they don’t make these any more. Should look for it. — a month ago

Elegant and very appealing Côtes-du-Rhône Villages red, made from 60% Grenache Noir and 40% Syrah. Wild strawberry, raspberry, black cherry, hints of cedar, lavender, wild thyme, blackberry, baking spice and more. Surprisingly soft on the palate with great finesse - drinks more like a Cru Village like Rasteau or Cairanne. Long, silky finish — 2 years ago

The 2018 Le Cigare Blanc was made from 54% Grenache Blanc grapes and 46% Vermentino from the Central Coast vineyards Cedar Lane, Paragon and Beeswax. I'll admit, I miss the Roussanne, which was jettisoned in favor of another grape. Fortunately, I love Vermentino, too, and it delivers enough salinity to be a worthy replacement. The nose threw me, because of its strong fruit’n’floral aromas. After a few minutes, the salinity came through and even more savory notes appeared on the nose. However, as with Le Cigare Volant, the Blanc is probably much more approachable in its new form. It doesn't mean I like it better. — 6 years ago

65/18/15/2 blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsaut and Petit Sirah. Moderate to high pigment extraction, purple red. Aromas and flavors of black pepper and raspberry. Ever so slightly tart, moderate skin astringency on finish with spearmint and alcohol-forward bitterness. Will mellow with decanting. Good value with a screw cap thrown in, yes! Drinks better than the last vintage I had of this. — 3 months ago
