    White wine. Southern Rhône, France. Organic. 100% Roussanne. From stony clay soils, grapes are exclusively hand-harvested early in the morning to allow sorting in the vineyard and prevent oxidation. Sorting grapes, direct pressing upon arrival at cellar with a small phase of cold maceration. The nose is fresh and pleasant with notes of honey and white flowers. The palate is crisp and mineral with expressive notes of honey and acacia, and a dry, harmonious finish.

    Red wine. Southern Rhône, France. 60% Grenache, 40% Syrah. Organic. "Normally a 50-50 blend of Grenache and Syrah, the 2018 Cairanne L'Estevenas continues the successful run for this cuvée, even though it might be more like 60% Syrah. The volume produced was about half of normal. It combines peppery-herbal notes with violets and blueberries on the nose, then adds raspberries on the medium to full-bodied palate. Supple and almost creamy in texture, it finishes with terrific length and vitality. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes." — 93-95 Points, Joe Czerwinksi, The Wine Advocate #245 (October. 2019)

    White wine. Southern Rhône, France. 40% Roussanne, 30% Clairette, 20% Viognier, 10% Bourboulenc. A round white blend that somehow manages to stay light, clean, and crisp. A floral and spice-accented bouquet, followed by lots of citrus on the palate, including juicy lime and orange that carry through to the finish.

    Red wine. Southern Rhône, France. 60% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Carignan. Organic. “The 2015 Cairanne la Brunote is full-bodied and lush, with dark fruit notes that closely resemble blackberries and cola. The creamy mid-palate glides easily into a long, slightly chocolaty finish. Drink it over the next 5 years.” — 90 pts, Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate #233 (Oct. 2017)

    Red wine. Southern Rhône, France. Grenache, Syrah, Carignan. Organic From the region’s “terroir garrigues” (stone terraces) grapes are hand-harvested separately at their optimum maturity. Grapes are sorted and a separate vinification of each different grape variety is made. Bottled without fining. A profusion of black fruit flavors and soft spices on the nose. A rich full-bodied palate, sustained by freshness and a mineral touch. A silky, velvety tannic finish to enhance the balance.
