Red Bicyclette 2005 Rosé (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- $11
Attractive, dry rosé, just brushed with sweetness. Herbs and fresh raspberries give a lift to the wine, while the layer of acidity is still there, leaving an easy, clean aftertaste.

Red Bicyclette 2003 Chardonnay (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- Best Buy
- $12
A light, fresh Chardonnay with minimal barrel influence, the debut vintage of Red Bicyclette boasts ample pear and citrus flavors, a stony minerality and hints of roasted nuts. At its commonly offered retail price of $10, this would be a Best Buy.

Red Bicyclette 2003 Syrah (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- Best Buy
- $12
This is a riper, plummier style of Syrah, with dark, chocolaty notes and only the slightest hint of peppery meatiness. With its Syrah-wildness tamed and medium-weight style, this would be a solid choice as a cocktail-party red, and a Best Buy at its frequently quoted retail of $10.

Red Bicyclette 2004 French Rose Rosé (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- $11

Red Bicyclette 2003 Merlot (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- $12
Different from many inexpensive Merlots in that it offers a fair amount of acid and tannin structure to go along with plummy, coffee-tinged fruit. Crisp and dry on the finish, giving it the edge to pair successfully with grilled steaks or burgers.

Red Bicyclette 2006 Rosé (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Light copper in color with somewhat funky, acetone-like odors present on first nosing. Though the chemical aromas subside, there are only subtle nuances of nectarine and unripe strawberry hull. The palate provides a touch more flavor with red berries and orange rind. A slightly confectioned finish. Imported by Red Bicyclette USA.

Red Bicyclette 2005 Merlot (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Raspberry and cherry aromas mix with more mature notes of fall leaves and lead into some earthy complexity on the somewhat thin palate. Velvety tannins and moderate acidity make for easy drinking. Notes of woods and mushroom on the finish suggest that this wine will not have much going forit by the end of 2009.
