Château Pesquié 2009 Terrasses Red (Ventoux)

Best Buy

Price $13

Pesquié’s entry-level red is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah, aged in a combination of tank and used oak. The result boasts dark fruit notes of blackberry and plum, but also hints of savory leather and spice. It’s medium bodied, with a firmness to the finish that suggests it should hold nicely for 3–4 years. — J.C. (12/15/2011)

Château Pesquié 2010 Terrasses Rosé (Ventoux)

Online Exclusive

Price $14

A bubbly, exuberant-smelling rosé, medium flamingo-pink in hue, with plenty of weight on the palate. It’s a bit broad, but the peach and strawberry flavors are successfully enlivened by a peppery finish. — J.C. (12/15/2011)
