Regular Price $14.99
Sale price $11.99
These Cabernet vines were planted outside of Pic Saint-Loup in 1970, and have been farmed organically for a decade or more. This is a Cab that…isn’t…typical. No oak aging means no vanilla, smokey, mocha, leathery flavors. Instead it shows wild berry, herbal, spicy, earthy flavors and aromas. Bright, juicy, fresh and delicious, its appeal lies in its direct, open and vivacious nature.

Regular Price $14.99
Sale price $11.99
60% Mourvèdre, 30% Syrah, 10% Grenache. Bold and rustic with herbal and dark berry notes, this wine over-delivers. No oak, just a pure expression of ripe fruit backed by drying tannins. Serve this with BBQ…or cassoulet.
Château Camplazens ‘La Garrigue’, La Clape 2013
Regular Price $14.99
Sale price $11.99
Chateau Camplazens La Garrigue 2013 is one of those historic properties that the critics overlooked when ‘discovering’ the region. Camplazens is located at the site of a Roman settlement on the top of a limestone mountain known as La Clape. La Clape was an island at the time of the Roman Invasion of Gaul in 118 BC.It was not until the fourteenth century that the La Clape massif became a natural part of the continent, at the same time becoming deforested and thus accentuating its erosion, which in turn uncovered the crevassed limestone crust. The wine itself is a blend of Syrah and Grenache, and its name (La Garrigue) reflects the heady, herbal aromas that vie with the plummy flavors and dark cocoa finish of the wine.
