This wine needs some time to open up after pouring to fully express itself. With time, rich notes of black currant, brambly berry and black cherry grace the nose and mouth, with a touch of licorice root and espesso unfolding after swallow.

Domaine Sainte-Eugénie 2005 Rosé (Corbières)
Despite moderately rich aromas and flavors that marry cherries and chocolate, this creamy, medium-bodied rosé finishes fresh and crisp. Could pair with virtually any summertime favorites, from grilled chicken or fish to salads and burgers.

There’s a strong floral edge to this wine, with assertive aromas of peony and carnation dominating the rich and jammy cherry and strawberry fruit center. Lightweight with low tannins, it’s an easy drink with good balance and versatility.

This rosé, a blend of Cinsault and Syrah, is a rather low-intensity offering with minor notes of red cherry and berry fruit accented by a white chocolate creaminess in the mouth. A versatile food wine with medium weight and an overall easiness.

A somewhat simple but undoubtedly tasty offering from the Languedoc. Ripe red berries and garrigue notes on the nose and palate, emphasized by lively acidity and a subtle tannic structure. Short finish, but clean and vibrant.

Domaine Sainte-Eugénie 2005 Le Clos Red (Vin de Pays de Hauterive)
-
$10
With a light brick color and thin mouthfeel, this wine seems to be past its prime. The mild nose offers nuances of small tart berries, rhubarb and a hint of pepper. The palate shows more of the same, with flavors of red currant and strawberry hull.
