PERRIN & FILS

Cairanne Peyre Blanche 2007
A bright red hue. Expressive nose of very ripe fruit. On the palate it appears rich and full-bodied, with silky tannins, good length and balance.

Blend: 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre Hand Harvested

RETAIL PRICE: $48

Vacqueyras Les Christins 2007
Wine Spectator: Very racy, with lots of red and black currant fruit backed by a great graphite spine. Offers nice hints of licorice, spice and iron on the finish.

Blend: 75% Grenache, 25% Syrah Hand Harvested
Ratings: 91 Points by Wine Spectator

RETAIL PRICE: $55

Gigondas La Gille 2005
Robert Parker: The 2005 offers plenty of kirsch liqueur, licorice, and crushed rocks and has an elegant minerality, medium-body, and a Burgundian – like flavor and aromatic profile.

Blend: 80% Grenache, 20% Syrah Hand Harvested
Ratings: 88-90 Points by Robert Parker 93 Points by Wine Spectator

RETAIL PRICE: $70
