I haven’t had one of these in a minute. It’s as delicious as I remember it to have been. Cassis and dark berries, together with roasted herbs and iodine garrigue-like scents on the nose. Soft and intense in the mouth. Loads of savory clingy flavors in the mouth. Conjures up being in Provence (where I haven’t been in decades and need to get back to). Love this.

Absolutely singing. Cellaring these bottles for just a few years makes such a difference.

Ripe raspberry, strawberry, red currant, red cherry, earthy and a bit funky. Light to med body, med plus tannin. Somewhat bloody with cheese rind. Great value wine.

Pleasant surprise! Rustic but smooth/light. Would pair well with most Italian meals.

What a value! Loved it. Not unlike the pibarnon restanques but lighter.

Great for the table and pure joy. Fun, fresh, different, and crawling with Provençal character.

Stop the presses. This is $13? No way. I need to turn in my junior winemaking badge. Run, don't walk.

The term "garrigue" refers to the scent of the wild herbs of Provence. It appears in textbook form in this rustic blend, with aromas of savory, marjoram, and thyme balanced by flavors of black olive and dark red fruit.
