Domaine de Tara 2009 Hautes Pierres White (Ventoux)
Hints at toast and buttery richness on the nose, then delivers exactly that on the palate. Its mouthfilling peach and melon flavors are deliciously soft and drinkable, featuring touches of honey and truffle on the finish. Drink now.

Domaine de Tara 2009 Hautes Pierres Red (Ventoux)
Powerfully built, with masses of cherry fruit backed by firm tannins. A bit unusual for the region, with 80% Syrah and only 20% Grenache, but it workss, yielding a tough, dense wine that should age well for 5–6 years.
