Made from the same blend as the regular bottling, yet aged in five-gallon glass jugs, the 2010 Le Cigare Volant Reserve en Bonbonne tastes like a top-flight Cotes du Rhone, giving up loads of garrigue, saddle leather, wild herbs, pepper and sweet dark cherry and blackberry fruit. Well-made, medium-bodied, juicy and balanced, it's not a blockbuster, but excels on its freshness and balance. Drink this beauty over the coming 4-6 years.

A blend of 30% Syrah, 28% Grenache, 22% Mourvedre and 20% Cinsault that was aged in five-gallon glass jugs, the 2009 Le Cigare Volant Reserve en Bonbonne has a Provencal feel in its wild herbs, saddle leather, licorice and sweet black cherry scented bouquet. This carries to a medium-bodied red that has solid fruit, juicy, yet integrated acidity and a clean finish. It has slightly more depth and richness over the standard bottling, and should drink nicely for 4-5 years.

The 2008 Le Cigare Volant Reserve En Bonbonne is the same blend as the straight Le Cigare Volant, yet is aged in five-gallon glass bottles. Rich and perfumed, with plenty of crushed berries, toasted spice, licorice and tobacco-styled aromas and flavors, it is sweetly fruited and supple on the palate, with medium-bodied richness, slightly rustic tannin and juicy acidity. Enjoy it over the coming 4-5 years. Drink now-2019. Tel. (831) 425-4518; www.bonnydoonvineyard.com
