Acid and smooth, red berries taste straightforward at first then cinch off quickly into bitterness like raspberry seeds. Easy to drink and won't steal the show or weigh down dinner.

Graham cracker, cocoa nibs, beef, dry, medium acidity, far more elegant than the price belies; mild bacon, raspberry, minerally.

Red blend from Ventoux. Mostly Syrah, Carignan and Grenache. Cherries and fresh savory herbs. Restrained and really good.

Beautiful acidity. Aromas of mushroom, earth and beef jerky. Flavors of mushroom and dark cherries. A bit of bitterness (not bad) on the finish. Good QPR.
