"An explosion of berries back by great minerality. Lively and fresh. Great as an aperitif. Also goes very well with salad, seafood and white meats."

"Pale yellow color with green tints. Fresh and fine aromas of grapefruit and exotic fruit. Lime flavors, with typical focusing acidity, are hallmarks of Picpoul. Our best value, this wine impresses novices and hardened geeks equally."

"This has a nice warm feel, with plush roasted coffee bean, steeped plum and fig fruit flavors melding through the tobacco-filled finish."

"A fresh rosé, displaying flavors of raspberry, fig, tangy cherry and smoke, with well-integrated acidity. Focused and harmonious, with a spiced, lip-smacking finish."

"Bright violet to the eye, with some floral/fruit hints on the nose. Wild strawberries and fresh red cherries on the palate, and both framed by a suggestion of chocolate—with just a hint of tannins emerging with time. Classic, classic, classic beaujolais with its bright red fruit and silky texture; this is bistrot wine at its very best, and will turn the head of even the most jaded wine geek. Insanely inexpensive at the moment—so buy this one by the case (or two—yes it's that good!) for a ready supply to enjoy throughout the spring and summer months."
