2020 Alain Jaume Haut de Brun Cotes du Rhone Rouge...$17.99
60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Cinsault
"Dusty ruby color. Aromas and flavors of cherry custard and meringue, delicate jerky, fig newton, and pipe tobacco with a satiny, bright, fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, delightful, medium-long finish that exhibits touches of honey roasted cherries and root vegetables, roasted nuts, cedar, and cocoa nibs with chewy, firm tannins and moderate oak flavor. A chewy, toothsome, table friendly French red that is an easy choice for a meaty Mediterranean meal."
Rated 93/100 Beverage Testing Institute

2022 Isabel Ferrando Beatusille Cotes du Rhone Rouge...$35.99
Brilliant ruby-red. Fresh and energetic on the nose, displaying intense red fruit preserve and floral scents and a suggestion of white pepper. Juicy and supple on the palate, offering sweet raspberry and cherry flavors and a refreshingly bitter blood orange nuance. Fine grained tannins build slowly through a long, sappy finish that leaves behind a suave lavender note. Great with cheese!

2020 Domaine de Servans Cotes du Rhone....$14.99
The grapes for this wine are organically grown in sandy clay soil in two different parcels: 4 hectares surrounding the domaine; and 4.5 hectares in the quarter called le Moulinas. The yields are 45 to 50 hl/ha and the vines average 40 years in age. The grapes are harvested by hand with a hand triage to select only the best quality grapes. They are de-stemmed and crushed, followed by maceration in temperature controlled tanks. The two grape varietals are vinified separately based on the time at which they are harvested. This ensures that each grape variety is brought in and vinified at optimal maturity. The wine rests in tank and is racked 2 to 3 times over the winter. The wine is certified organic by Ecocert

2019 Xavier Vignon Cotes Du Rhone Vieilles Vignes...$24.99
The deep black-cherry and ripe-blackberry fruit, plus the full, soft body push this to the edge of sweetness on the palate. However, the gentle dry tannins at the velvety finish just keep it on track. A style that now seems a bit dated, but plenty of wine drinkers love this. Drink now."
Rated 90/100 James Suckling
