Réserve des Oliviers 2009 White (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Not a big, overwhelming blockbuster, this harmonious blend of equal parts Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette and Bourboulenc features ripe citrus and pineapple flavors, with a hint of melon thrown in for good measure. It’s pleasantly medium bodied and creamy in the mouth, with a reasonably long finish. Drink it over the next 12–18 months.

Réserve des Oliviers 2007 Vieilles Vignes Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
- $62
Not a supercharged heavyweight even at 15% abv, instead this is an elegant, complex rendition of Châteauneuf-du-Pape that’s ready to drink now–2015. From its aromas of leather and dried flowers to the meaty, complex flavors and coffee and black olives on the finish, it deliver easy-drinking charm.

Réserve des Oliviers 2007 Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
- $45
Rustic and feral, with hints of dirty Band Aid alongside notes of coffee and molasses. Still, it holds some appeal for not conforming to expectations and boasts a redeemingly ripe, creamy texture that’s almost suede-like on the finish. Drink now.
