Domaine du Moulin 2004 Vieilles Vignes Red (Vinsobres)
Call it international if you must, but it’s really just a ripe, supple style with a kiss of oak. Vanilla and dried spices work the nose, but there’s also balanced raspberry fruit and eminent drinkability. Drink now.

Domaine du Moulin 2004 ++ Red (Vinsobres)
-
$13
Apparently the ++ indicates more oak. Ripe black cherry fruit is coated in cedary, vanilla-scented oak, but it wears it well, ending on a supple, creamy note, rather than a dried-out or astringent one.

Domaine du Moulin 2005 White (Côtes du Rhône Villages)

$15
A mild, melony Côtes-du-Rhône blanc, this is a largely neutral wine with decent weight and palate feel. Try it as an accompaniment to herbed chicken.
