    VENTOUX

    93 Martinelle 2017 Ventoux. Fresh cassis and blackberry flood this gorgeously plummy blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Counoise. Sourced from high-altitude, limestone soils, it’s voluptuous but briskly balanced. The long finish is marked by fine-tipped tannins and lingering hints of bramble, dried mint and garrigue. It’s at peak now through 2027. North Berkeley Imports. —A.I.

    abv: 14.7% Price: $25

    92 Château Juvénal 2017 La Terre du Petit Homme (Ventoux). Unctuous and rich, this full-bodied blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre is a hedonistic expression of the Ventoux. Densely concentrated flavors of crème de cassis and plum preserve are streaked by vanilla, licorice and clove. Soft tannins accentuate its plush disposition. At peak now, the wine should hold through 2027. Misa Imports. —A.I.

    abv: 15% Price: $18

    Whispers of smoke and dried violet perfume this full-bodied but pristine wine. A blend of unoaked Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Cinsault, it’s robustly concentrated but refreshingly pure in. —A.I.
