The 2015 Roussanne has a rich nose of pineapple, honeycomb, butterscotch, jasmine, and a little cedary oak. The mouth is broad and rich, inviting, with ripe pear, beeswax, custard, baking spices and a nice savory firmness that reminded me of apple skin cleaning things up on the long finish. A wine to enjoy now or to hold for a decade or more. Pairing: Rich shellfish (lobster and crab), Sea Bass, Mildly spicy foods (curries, gumbo), Stir-fries in garlic and olive oil, SalmonPairing Suggestion:

The 2014 Roussanne shows a luscious nose of peach syrup, jasmine, and lanolin, undercut by cool, spicy notes of lemon thyme and citrus leaf. On the palate, flavors of salted caramel, nutmeg, marzipan and orange zest are backed by rich texture, and saline notes come out on the long, dry finish. Already appealing (moreso than many vintages of our Roussanne are in their youth) it should also develop additional depth and nuttiness over the next decade.

The 2013 Grenache is a pretty garnet color, with an appealing nose of surprisingly dark fruit for the usually red-fruited Grenache: black raspberry, plum, black pepper, sweet spice and milk chocolate. The mouth shows redder than the nose and is nicely balanced between sweeter and more savory flavors, with wild strawberry, new leather, and a little welcome mintiness. Good acids and youthful Grenache tannins hold everything together, and it all smooths out and shows more red fruit and chocolate on the finish. Pairing: Grilled steaks, Pastas with meat sauces, Rich beef stews, Spicy sausagesPairing Suggestion:

The 2016 Patelin de Tablas Rosé is a pretty light peach color. On the nose are spicy aromatics of nectarine, grapefruit pith, yellow roses, and petrichor. The mouth is bright with flavors of yellow peach and raspberry, with mouthwatering acidity giving focus to a long finish with flavors of lemon drop and salty minerality.

The 2015 Côtes de Tablas has a spicy Grenache-led nose, despite the relatively high percentage of Syrah: wild strawberry, mint, fresh figs, and an undertone of chorizo-like meatiness. In the mouth, lifted fruit is balanced with richness, like strawberry shortcake, with complicating flavors of Mexican hot chocolate, cola, and fresh dates. Drink now and over the next decade.

The 2014 En Gobelet has a rich, dark-red-fruited nose of currant, leather, chocolate, licorice, and crushed rock. The palate is similar, but a touch darker: salty cocoa, black raspberry, plum skin and chalky minerality. Despite the wine's serious tannins, the overall impression is one of gracefulness, and it should provide a great deal of pleasure in both the near and longer term. Pairing: Game, Dark Fowl (i.e., duck), Richly flavored stews, Lamb, Pasta puttanesca, Asian preparation of red meats (i.e., beef stir fry)Pairing Suggestion:

The 2015 Petit Manseng is bright and mineral on the nose, with aromas of key lime, lychee, chalk, and tarragon. On the palate, sweet but with bracing acidity too: flavors of candied grapefruit, nectarine, and spun sugar, with a citrus pith bite cleaning up the long, appealingly sweet-tangy finish. We expect it to age beautifully. Pairing: Foie gras, Salty cheeses, Fruit desserts, Spicy Thai and Indian curriesPairing Suggestion:

The 2015 Terret Noir is a pale garnet color, with a spicy, lifted nose of dried herbs and wild strawberries. On the palate it shows a persistence surprising for such a pale red wine, with crunchy red fruit like pomegranates and red currants, complex notes of black tea and dried roses, good acids, and some grippy tannins on the finish. We have no idea how it will age, but think it's lovely lightly chilled with a charcuterie plate right now. Pairing: Dried sausages, Salty cheeses, Santa Maria tri tip, Coq au vinPairing Suggestion:

The 2014 Marsanne has a pretty pale gold color, with a surprisingly tropical nose of fresh pineapple and lychee, baked apples, lemongrass and wet rocks. The mouth is pretty and composed, notably saline, with apple skin and candied lemon peel flavors that soften and broaden into a long, gentle finish with echoes of soft minerality. It should drink well for at least the next five years, likely longer. pairing: Mussels Marinière, Green salads with avocado and citrus dressing, Scallops, Light-fleshed fish (halibut, sole) with tropical salsaPairing Suggestion:

The 2015 Grenache Blanc has an appealingly sweet-smelling nose of candy apple, citrus pith, anise and sea spray. The palate by contrast is fully dry, with Grenache Blanc’s characteristic blend of broad texture and bright acids, flavors of green apple and candied grapefruit, and a long finish with lingering orange peel and salty mineral notes.
