Reviewed November 2025This wine sees partial carbonic maceration, giving it spicy aromas of cinnamon and Sichuan pepper. Tart red fruit, dried flowers, cranberries, citrus and savory herbs on the palate, with a fresh, light body and a dry finish. A blend of carignan and valdiguie from three historic vineyards. Fun to drink now. (CH)

Vinous
The 2023 Red Table Wine Indica is a crunchy, candied, fruity wine that screams with Carignan and Valdigué character. Wild berries, purple flowers, orange peel and black pepper tones rush through a joyful, vibrant wine that surprises with a nip of minerality on the finish. It's a fantastic value-driven blend with lovely old-school charm. (BN)
