Fortant 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Vin de Pays d'Oc)

  • Best Buy
  1. $6
A well-made wine which exhibits just the right amount of firm, dry tannic Cabernet structure to go with powerful black fruits. Good acidity gives balance, but the main impression is of great, ripe fruit.  — R.V.  (12/1/2004)

Fortant 2003 Merlot (Vin de Pays d'Oc)

  • Best Buy
  1. $6
Soft fruit, with a light jammy character characterizes this easy, fresh wine. It has light tannins and a firm, dry element which balanced the freshness. With some richness, it even manages a southern warmth  — R.V.  (12/1/2004)

Fortant 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (Vin de Pays d'Oc)

  • Best Buy
  1. $10
Black plum, liqueur and marzipan aromas make for an intriguing nose. On the palate, you will find tart cherry fruit mixed into a couple of layers. It needs food, but many wines do. On the plus side, the balance and acids are just about right. —M.S.  — M.S.  (4/1/2002)

Fortant 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Vin de Pays d'Oc)

  • Best Buy
  1. $9
Cedar, red cherries and woodsy mineral notes make for a fairly complex opening. The palate is crisp, with lovely tar and leather notes framed by soft tannins that persist on the moderately long finish. An elegant choice to accompany steak.  — W.E.  (3/1/2009)

Fortant 2003 Chardonnay (Vin de Pays d'Oc)

  • Best Buy
  1. $6
Smooth and soft, this wine has a touch of vanilla and apples and cream flavors. At the back, a freshness of acidity stops it being too rich or fat. It is well-made, well balanced and slips down easily  — R.V.  (12/1/2004)

Fortant 2009 Chardonnay (Vin de Pays d'Oc)

Ripe and sweet smelling with aromas of vanilla custard and soft buttercream among notes of red apple flesh. Orange oil flavors cut through the heft of the round mouth, with a medium-length finish.  — L.B.  (7/1/2011)

Fresh fruit gives this wine an immediate attraction. It is simple, clean and direct. The red fruit flavors are light, and would have benefited from more depth.  — R.V.  (12/1/2004)
