This is the first vintage from new owners Gavin and Amanda Crisfield. This top cuvee, Puech de Guen is a blend of Syrah and Grenache. Big, but elegant fruit combines with dark tannins and big, black fruit. Great dense blackberry jam flavors, are layered with wood and tannins.

The second label of La Sauvageonne, from a year when the first wine was not made because of the quality of the vintage. It has spicy, wood dominated aromas, and young, soft fruit. It's an attractive wine, with lightness and elegance rather than power.

A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from a cool year. It is a medium-bodied, wood dominated wine which lacks fruit weight for the wood. Spice, pepper and some black fruits leave a dry aftertaste.

The young wine from this estate is principally a blend of Syrah and Grenache. Ripe soft fruit, easy to drink and full of black fruits, this is a delicious, early drinking wine.
