This wine strikes a wonderful balance between California richness and Chenin's sharp acid and mineral character. It is textural and refined with a touch of lush fruit on the nose but leans out on the palate.

The schist and granite soil of this vineyard yields a wine that is strongly mineral. Its acidity and fruitiness are restrained by a tense texture and steely character. This fine wine needs to age a few more months, so drink from early 2019.

A benchmark producer of the delicious, dry rosé for which Provence is famous, the Commanderie was founded by Templar knights in the 13th century. An unusually high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon lends richness & structure to this ripe, fruity wine with plenty of orange peel & red-berry freshness. Food-friendly acidity makes this compelling both as a pairing & on its own.

This ancient yeast fills the glass with notes of an earthy citrus grove with a touch of peppery spice and hay.
