Sandy, decomposed granite soils. Richly textured with a firm, tannic backbone support its dense fruit. Ripe, pushing soaked, black fruit, roasted meat, garrigue, talcum, menthol, violet, leather, and loads of pepper. There’s a firm thread of granite and sanguine throughout. This is wound up, I love the texture though, grainy and raw. It needs some time to harmonize its finish. Baby Hermitage! — 5 years ago
Loire rosé seldom disappoints. Domaine Les Pins likewise. I may have just found my summer drinking rosé. (A tad richer than last year but equally as much fun.) — 7 years ago

Finally ready to relax... darling wife inbound from EWR(bringing new pins perhaps?) picked an old favorite to set conditions. Moist forest floor on the nose, complex mouth with deep fruit and spice. Finished smooth save for a bit of bitter, which I adore — 8 years ago
Pale gold. Interplay of cultured cream and papaya with lemon, golden apple and tea rose follow through. Specks of lime scent swirl, discombobulated in the frozen, underripe pineapple expanse. Toasty frame drops quickly in a lemon and lime juice flume made of sterling silver. Kafir leaves in lightest brine add a minerality that defines the space including a real suggestion of white pepper on the finish. Despite the description, this is not overly racy, instead, relying on its needles and pins to deliver the concentrated citric doses with precision. Finely ground chalk and salt rock it’s high mark. .

This was drinking great. Vibrant purple color, even at 10 years of age. Smoky and stony, with both a Syrah like aromas and a structure more like Gamay. It perfectly pins the expected aromas of a "mountain" wine with hints of wild herbs in the finish. Should be spectacular with an aged sheep's milk cheese like Ossau Iraty. — 8 years ago
This barely-peach-pink wine is loaded with nose - cherries and berries for days with a hint of earth from the south of France. The palate is also fruity, and juicy to boot. Easy acidity will pair well with the usual salad and seafood suspects, but it’s not exactly a mouthful of pins and needles. Quite a nice Provençal pinkie, just what we expect.

Conch shell pink, Jean-Luc Colombo's Les Pins Couchés Rosé is a pretty blend of 67% Syrah and 33% Mourvedre sourced from Cape Bleue, a maritime-influenced site just outside Marseille. The 2016 delivers white peaches, raspberries, cherries, and line-dried linen, but what I'm most excited about what this wine does on the palate. The influence of calcarious soils dominates this blend—texturally, it's almost slippery in the mouth, reminiscent of slip casting with fine porcelain clay. Bright and buoyant, a perfect wine for summer. 13.0% ABV — 8 years ago
Usually we are not fans of white, but this one is just lovely! A slight sweet after taste. Nice with fish and pasta — 9 years ago
