Impossible to go wrong with Texier. Lovely fruit up front, but dissolves into beautiful earth the more time it’s in the glass. (Note Delectable calls this southern Rhône, but at least this vintage, the back of the bottle says it’s Grenache from the Northern Rhône).

Very bright and fresh. Flowers, spiced berries, white pepper, garrigue. Pure and great for the table

Another fun Texier #wine. Nose fumes of wild red berry/brush. Chalk candy. Bright racy raspberries. Really fresh, lively and focused. Really dry finish. Opens up real pretty. Loses bite and edge for light tart raspberry palate.
