Remarks:<\/strong> The 2007 Constance – as usual, Grenache-based, aged part in cement and part in barrel – is vividly redolent of fresh black raspberry and blueberry. With its infectiously juicy, ‘cool’ fruit character yet at the same time a striking sense of crushed stone and graphite, this long-finishing cuvee represents an outstanding introduction to its region as well as outstanding value.

John Szabo<\/a><\/p>\n

Crafted in a new world style, this sauvignon from northeastern Italy has intense aromas of passion fruit and guava, underpinned by citrus, fresh cut grass and green pea. The palate is mid-weight, balanced and juicy, with decent depth and length, finishing on lightly bitter flavours. Ready to enjoy. Value Rating: **1\/2<\/p>\n

Critic Reviews<\/span><\/p>\n

John Szabo<\/a> (Canada\u2019s first Master Sommelier, critic for Wine Access, Wine Align etc.)<\/p>\n

Clean, open, savoury, spicy and succulent southern French red here, with impressive flavour intensity and length at the price. This has real personality and character – perfect for a mixed grill. Tasted April 2010. Value Rating: ***<\/p>\n

\u00a0David Lawrason<\/a> (www.DavidLawrason.com<\/a>; critic for Globe & Mail ,Wine Access, Wine Align)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Huge value from a high flying new outfit (including funding from Ch. Valandraud in Bordeaux) in the\u201chot\u201d \u201cCatalans\u201d region near the Spanish border. Blend of old vine grenache and carignan the showy aromatics include ripe plum, sweet oak, cigar and earthy notes. It drinks the same – warm, smooth, generous and right there, with better length than expected. Some dusty tannin, but ready to go and it should last through 2014. Excellent length. Tasted May 2010<\/p>\n
