The story: This wine is classic CDR, certified organic and aged in concrete to keep it fresh and fruity. Producer Philippe Bravay is extremely dedicated to preserving the unique traditions and special characteristics that the region brings to the world, placing a premium on authenticity and letting the fruit of his estate speak for itself.

Why You'll Love Me: Named for the region's famous prevailing winds, this is quintessential southern Rhône: dark brambly berries, bright boysenberry, sweet hay and cedar on the nose. The palate is bright with plum, blackberries, boysenberries, spice + clove with hints of mocha, making this an elegant yet approachable wine.
