The top cuvée from Château de Bastet is a 100 percent Syrah. It has all the ripe, perfumed character of the varietal, a delicious mix of smoky wood, vanilla and blackberry jam. The firm, dry tannins suggest this could well age for 6 years, but the fruit means it is ready to drink now.

A fresh, fruity wine, with red fruit flavors and soft, juicy tannins. It has a youthfulness at this stage that suggests it will age well over the next 4–5 years. The large 138-acre vineyard is surrounded by open land protecting it from chemicals from neighboring properties. Imported by Organic Vintners.

A light, fresh, strawberry flavored wine, with fragrant fruit, and a touch of typical earthy Grenache tastes. This is young, vibrant and ready to drink now.
