The 2005 AN is predominantly Callet with a small percentage of Mantonegre-Fogoneu. The wine was aged for 17 months in French oak. Dark ruby-colored, more fragrant and richer than the AN/2, it offers a superb bouquet of cedar, lavender, fresh herbs, violets, and wild red fruits. Elegant, silky, intense, and long on the palate, this hedonistic effort will provide much pleasure over the next 10 years. Importer: Winebow, Inc., www.winebow.com

The entry level 2005 AN/2 is made from 65% Callet, 20% Mantonegre-Fogoneu, and 15% Syrah. The wine was aged for 12 months in French and American oak, 70% new. Medium- to dark ruby-colored, it offers up a complex aromatic array of pain grille, spice box, wild raspberry, and black cherry reminiscent of quality Pinot Noir. Silky and elegant on the palate, the fruit is ripe and intense, the wine long, balanced, and stylish. Drink it over the next 4-6 years. Importer: Winebow, Inc., www.winebow.com
