"Always rock solid, the 2019 Tavel is another impressive effort from this estate. Offering lots of upfront candied cherry and watermelon notes as well as a kiss of kirsch, it’s medium-bodied, has outstanding balance, good acidity, and a crisp, dry finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. It drops off slightly on the finish, but it’s nevertheless certainly delicious."

"With an effusive bouquet of fresh strawberry syrup, the 2019 Corne-Loup Rosé shows excellent freshness and refinement on the palate. Red cherry and berry flavors are enhanced by a notable mineral note. A superb Tavel! A blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 10% Syrah, and 15% Mourvèdre, Clairette and Carignan from 20-year-old vines grown on pebbly, sandy soil in the Plateau de Vallongue sub-region. 14.1% alc."

"Almost garnet-hued in the glass, this plum-scented, Grenache-dominant blend offers all the blackberry and blueberry richness of a red wine with the freshness and thirst-quenching quaffability of a rosé. Accented by spikes of burnt caramel, granite and smoke, it's an elegant, satisfying and dry wine that drinks well anytime of the year. - ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"

"Ruby color. Aromas of watermelon and strawberry Hubba Bubba with a medium-to-full body and a medium-to-long cassis, persimmons, and strawberry leaf finish. A complex rose with well balanced fruit and savory notes."

"The grenache syrah-cinsault-trio, refreshed with a touch of clairette (10%) works wonderfully in this radiant and fashionable tavel. A light ruby shimmering robe with apricot reflections opens up to an explosive and decadent bouquet (strawberry syrup, blackcurrant candy). The delicacy is echoed in the fleshy and slightly amyl palate, lively and energized from start to finish by a very nice freshness and a long tangy finish with lemon peel accents. A modern and lively version of tavel that provides instant pleasure and will be hard to keep in the cellar for long."
"This wine bursts in the glass with juicy watermelon, ripe black cherries, melon, fresh mint and white peppercorn. Additional layers of fresh cherry flavors and crushed stone dance back and forth on the palate and wash away with a long saline finish. Aerate for optimal enjoyment."
