When we came to the Languedoc region, everybody talked about “Les Américains”. It didn’t matter that mom is French-Vietnamese or that I am Franco-American. We will always be Les Américains. So why fight it?

We knew this would be the cuvée that most people saw. It’s not as extreme as our flagship reserve, instead designed to be an ambassador to O’Vineyards. The wine that introduces people to our rigorous work ethic, our delicious wines, and (perhaps ironically) our love of France.

Les Américains is a Cabardès blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Our unique position so far inland in the Languedoc allows us to balance Mediterranean richness and spice with Atlantic-influenced structure and boldness. Les Amèricains has just enough richness and just enough austerity so that it is approachable to virtually all wine lovers.

*** 3 stars : Good 
Medium intensity off-ruby colour in the glass. The nose is heavy with cassis, mocha, and black pepper. The palate is rather closed off, a nice fresh opening but from the mid-palate onwards it seems to die out in a matter of seconds - leaving a stream of alcohol and a bit of tannin on the way. Food matches would include a nice hearty chicken and chorizo spicy stew or a tasty Thai nam doc.
