Value French wines

[Bucko]

2004 Robert Skalli, Cabernet Sauvignon, Vin de Pays d’OC, France, $16. Berries, currants and cracked pepper nuances unfold on the nose and palate. Friendly tannins and bright acidity makes this medium-bodied wine a nice match for that grilled steak tonight; 87/90.

2005 Robert Skalli, Chardonnay, Vin de Pays d’OC, France, $16. This fruit-forward, food-friendly Chardonnay reveals aromas and flavors of flowers, pears, peaches and spicy vanilla; 86/88.
