Inviting, layered nose of raspberry, strawberry, molasses, smoke, black olive, licorice and gamy notes. Nicely complex and flavorful with lots of ripe berry fruit, leather, black pepper and roasted meat notes. Medium to full-bodied with moderately firm tannins. Fresh, richly textured and dense without being heavy.

Mas des Bressades 2009 Cuvée Excellence Red (Costières de Nîmes)
- Best Buy
- $13
This Syrah-based cuvée is aged in barrel, but the cedary notes are only a backdrop to the floral, garrigue notes and dark fruit aromas. In the mouth, the flavors seem brighter and more like red berries, with plenty of savory spice for interest. It’s drinking well now, but the moderate tannins suggest it should hold through 2016.

- $13
Featuring a combination of cedar, garrigue and bouncy red fruit, this wine achieves lovely balance and complexity. It’s medium bodied, with raspberry and cherry fruit accented by hints of spice and vanilla. Should easily last through 2016.

Mas des Bressades 2010 Cuvée Tradition White (Costières de Nîmes)
A lovely blend of several varieties, this wine delivers a whiff of sea brine, some herbes de Provence and ripe pineapple notes. It’s a concentrated, medium-weight wine that manages to be a bit viscous without seeming heavy. Finishes long, balanced by peppery spice. Drink now.

Mas des Bressades 2008 Roussanne-Viognier (Vin de Pays du Gard)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Filled to the brim with bold upfront fruit--peaches and pears tinged with honey and truffle--the chief possible complaint is a certain lack of subtlety (who really needs it?). Fades a little quickly on the finish, but still represents good value. Drink now.

Mas des Bressades 2008 Cuvée Tradition Rosé (Costières de Nîmes)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Importer Bobby Kacher seemingly has a pipeline to the best rosés around Nîmes, and Mas des Bressades is a perennial favorite. The 2008 features layers of ripe fruit--berries and peaches--brought together in a lush, full-bodied but not overblown wine. Drink now.
