Foncalieu 2009 Nom de Guerre Red (Saint-Chinian)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $13
For ten bucks, you really can’t go wrong with this Grenache-dominated blend. Purple florals and garrigue spice flood the nose, while fruity flavors of black cherry, boysenberry and blueberry keep things rich and juicy in the mouth. Well-balanced with dusty but supporting tannins and an integrated, oak-infused sweetness on the finish.

Foncalieu 2008 Le Lien Syrah (Minervois)
- $25
This 100% Syrah is thick and intense with strong black fruit flavors lifted by accents of anise and milk chocolate. The mouth is full of ripe plum and cherry flavors, with well-integrated tannins and a solid, juicy finish.

Foncalieu 2008 Apogée Syrah (Saint-Chinian)
- $25
This 95% Syrah wine (with 5% Grenache) is thick and hearty with a strong black fruit core augmented by nuances of flinty minerality, dark chocolate, tobacco and leather. Chewy and firm in the mouth with assertive tannins that linger through the finish. It could use some time to integrate and mellow; try after 2012.

Crushed violets and attractive garrigue aromas frame the bouquet and spice up the blackberry, cassis and raspberry core. The lush texture is balanced, with medium but firm tannins and a coffee-infused finish. Grenache and Syrah with 14% Carignan.
