Barrière Frères 2006 Jacques Sans Souci Red (Bordeaux)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $9
A wine that aims to bring out the casual side of Bordeaux, this is friendly, accessible, without losing the essential dry tannins and fresh black currant flavors typical of the region. If only all branded Bordeaux was like this.

Barrière Frères 2007 Château Haut-Belian White (Entre-Deux-Mers)
- Best Buy
- $9
With a high proportion (20%) of the aromatic Muscadelle, this is a softly fresh wine, attractively perfumed and given a lift of acidity from Sauvignon Blanc. A great apéritif wine, ready to drink now.

Barrière Frères 2006 Grand Bâteau Red (Bordeaux)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Showing new wood, this is a straight down the line red Bordeaux. The tannins are firm, maybe the wood gives a burnt character but the fruit comes through strongly, giving fresh, sweet blackberry juice flavors. A good, dry, but lively finish.

Barrière Frères 2008 Merlot (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Here’s a solid and satisfying Merlot, boasting bright notes of blackberry and plum laced with accents of carnation potpourri. Medium tannins give structure to the palate, and the slightly lifted finish ends clean.

Barrière Frères 2006 Jacques Sans Souci White (Bordeaux Blanc)
- Best Buy
- $9
Less successful than the red Jacques Sans Souci, this nevertheless has some attractive fresh citrus and green plum flavors and bright fresh acidity. Simple fruits and a light green apple structure give it a good, crisp finish.

- Online Exclusive
- $10
A fresh white currant-flavored wine, attractive with its acidity and fresh berry character. Dominated by Sauvignon Blanc, it has a grassy element, but there is also good intensity of sweet flavors.
