2015 Vignerons De Tautavel, Rocher Des Buis, Maury Sec Vin Rouge $15
75% Grenache, 25% Syrah
A full bodied red from the south of France. The wine opens with a burst of fruit swimming in brandy and meaty notes. The palate is then more rounded and melted, carried by fine tannins and a fruity finish.

Sunday

2021 Felline, Salento Fiano $12
100% Fiano
Puglia
Fiano is often compared to unoaked Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. This one has aromas of pastries, butter cookies and very ripe apricots with undertones of orange zest and a floral aftertaste. The palate, initially full and creamy textured with yellow fruit notes, changes in the mouth, becoming slightly bitter on the finish.
