2009 Dom. Couron CDR Viognier
From Jean-Luc and Marie-Lise Dorthe. The Viognier fruit is sourced from Saint Marcel d'Ardeche, 45 miles northwest of Avignon where the soils are predominately rift boulders of limestone over granite. From 28 year old vines. One sniff of this, and you'll know you're dealing with a Viognier! It offers great quantities of the expected white stone fruit aromas, but also has orange sherbet flavors with a touch of tropical fruit on the finish. Absolutely fresh and lively.The Roman coin on the labelis one of many found in the vineyard.Honeyed apricot and pear aromas that are sweetly floral with subtle hints of cinnamon. Good structure and acid balance play against the fruity flavor profile in this soft and dry take brings back summer in just one sip. Flat out wonderful. Smooth, melony, slightly tart wih a nice finish.

2007 Mont Tauch Fitou
Fruity & spicy. Carignan, Grenache, syrah. Fitou Mont Tauch is a rich wine with lots of character and a hint of spice. This modern style is blended from selected grapes from the three Fitou villages of Mont Tauch. Interesting and tasty. Deep dense purple fruit on the nose - very earthy - follows through onto the palate with additional smoke characters. Lots of acid and tannin, but pretty good balance.
