Château Maris 2006 Old Vine Grenache (Minervois La Liviniere)
- $56
A beautiful opaque garnet color, you know this wine is going to be intense at first glance. Dark rich fruits abound on the nose and palate: blueberry, black plum, violet, coffee granules and a hint of cured meat. The mouth is silky and full and beautifully supported by soft, dusty tannins. Closes on a long, hearty finish.

Château Maris 2006 La Touge Syrah (Minervois La Liviniere)
- $27
Sourced from the La Touge vineyard, this is a bright and promising Syrah offering primary aromas of raspberry and strawberry with accents of garrigue herbs and tea leaves. The palate is just as lively, with ample ripe red cherry in the mouth and on the finish. Balanced, well structured, and easy to drink.

Château Maris 1999 Red (Minervois La Liviniere)
- $16
This nose of this Syrah-Grenache-Carignan blend has mineral and weedy notes at first; after a few minutes in the glass, the greenness fades, and spicy paprika notes show through. Taut but bright blackberries and earth flavors lead into a toasty, dark, medium-length finish.
