La Forge Estate 2007 Unfiltered Syrah (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- Best Buy
- $13
A beautiful Syrah with aromas of black berries, menthol, pepper, cured meat, cigar box and leather. The medium-weight mouth has a satiny texture and is loaded with more black fruit along with coffee, cassis and cocoa flavors. The finish, powerful and oaky, is long and evolving, steering from dark fruit to more chocolate-covered cherry semblances.

La Forge Estate 2007 Reserve Viognier (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- Best Buy
- $13
A sexy nose with nuances of mineral, pear and apricot cut by high floral tones leads to a crisp, more straightforward palate with a lush texture. Moderate acidity makes it a good choice for consuming without food. A dollar or two more than its competitors and worth every penny.

La Forge Estate 2007 Barrel Selection Chardonnay (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- $13
The Barrel Selection certainly has no qualms about hiding its true colors. The nose offers ripe stone fruit supported by hints of butter and cream, while the mouth presents a prickly acidity and clean citrus flavors that prevent the wine from landing with a thud. A solid selection that will pair well with most poultry dishes.

Here’s a rich and smoky Chard with nice aromas and flavors of wood-grilled red apples with a caramel drizzle, peach pit and Key lime citrus. Solidly structured with good heft, a long finish and prominent acidity that keeps the wine from going over the edge and being too flabby. Drink now.

La Forge Estate 1999 Syrah (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- $12
Veers toward the dark, earthy side of the Syrah spectrum, with aromas and flavors of black plum, cocoa, cinnamon, clove and black coffee. The sensation of dried spices and cocoa persists through the finish, where the tannins seem almost powdery on the tongue.

La Forge Estate 2007 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- $13
New Zealand has spawned a global rage for intense, aromatic Sauvignon Blanc. This elegant wine bucks that trend with its subtle nose of apricot and lemon zest and a feather-light palate. The short finish is a bit chalky with lip-smacking acidity.
