Domaine du Grand Cros 2004 Jules Réserve Red (Côtes de Provence)
-
$18
Aromatic, herbal wine, with evocative lavender, a core of dry tannins, fresh red plum juice fruit and flavors of wild thyme. The six years’ aging has given the wine just the right amount of maturity to drink now.

This mineral-dominated Malbec is dry, packed with tannins as well as black currants and wild berries. It is on the austere side, finishing with intense acidity.

Domaine du Grand Cros 2006 Jules Rosé (Côtes de Provence)
-
$15
Named after owner Julian Faulkner, this wine is full, missing zing perhaps but with good ripe strawberry and dusty dryness. With its citrus aftertaste, it works much better with food than as an aperitif.
