Domaine Saint Amant 2004 Grangeneuve Beaumes-de-Venise Red (Côtes du Rhône Villages)
Seems slightly volatile on the nose, with hints of nail polish that detract from an otherwise pretty bouquet of leather, cherry and spice. Good power and structure, with a warm, peppery finish. Drink now.

Domaine Saint Amant 2004 La Borry Viognier (Côtes du Rhône)

$12
This blend of 95% Viognier and 5% Roussanne is fat and broad on the palate but not particularly floral or spicy. It’s a big, neutral white to serve as an apéritif or with fish.
