Top Notes For
Jean-Marc Troadec

Chocolatey ripe red fruit—cassis, wild strawberry, notes of thyme and garrigue. Soft round tannins and enough acid to keep it balanced. Big-boned and self- confident, this is another easy-drinking hedonistic fruit-forward wine from Eric Solomon, @Philippe Cambie and Gilles Ferran. Sunny and friendly, it feels like the South of France in a glass... 15% alcohol (though drinks like 13%) Pricier than I'd like for an everyday wine, but at $28 a nice treat! More please...

Balanced bright red berries and herbs made this one an interesting addition to the lineup.
