EASY DRINKING

Offers a deep and broad mouthful of wine that’s dark purple in color and seam-less. The fruity exuberance of its zinfandel is tempered by the spiciness of the cari-gnane, while the petite syrah adds depth and backbone. The resultant wine is both delicious and complex.

LAUREL GLENREDS

ROBERTPARKERRATING

Voluptuous aromas of blue-berry, red cherry and raspberry are accented by darker notes of coffee bean, spicy bramble and hints of caramel. The palate is equally intriguing, opening with fresh, sweet dark berry and baked cherry fruit with firm tannins supporting the long and delicious finish. The blending of multiple variet-ies and appellations gives this bottling tremendous complex-ity. Syrah was included in the blend to deliver a modern profile for this wine, lending a luscious fruit-forward character that is a soft counterpoint to the Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa.

This chardonnay is a slightly fruitier, more structured style of Chardonnay from Talbott. Light straw-colored, the wine displays notes of nectarine, kiwi, orange marmalade, honey, and subtle oak.

Ruby-like, bright in color. Fruit forward with red plum and varietal characteristics. Medium dry, medium body and harmoni-ous with a good finish. This wine marries two of the classic Bordeaux grape variet-ies: Cabernet Sauvignon offers character, complexity and longevity, while Merlot adds softer tannins and elegance, patterned after the same classic blend that distin-guishes many fine Chateaux of Bordeaux.

Mingles bitter-sweet black cherry, licorice, and dark chocolate. Sug-gestions of cherry pit, wet stone, and wood smoke enhance the bitter side of this wine, but its pure fruit is so juicy that the finishing result is invigorat-ing and immediately calls forth the next sip. 13.97

The Marquis de Goulaine Rose d’Anjou has deep color and almost a red wine personality; a serious pink wine, this one satisfies the pal-ate with its richness and sweet fruit.

Insane for an $8 wine. Aside from the price, the other piece of good news is that there are 6500 cases for the USA market. Purple-colored with spicy black cherry aromas that jump from the glass, this is a forward, friendly, ripe effort with no hard edges. Drink this crowd-pleaser over the next 2-3 years. 7.97
