"Bold black-cherry and plum flavors are accented by delicate veins of vanilla and smoked nut in this voluptuously textured red. It's a delightfully fruity, concentrated wine that appeals young for its bold fruit and fine tannins. ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"

"An impressive effort I’d be happy to drink, the 2018 Côtes du Rhône gives up ample darker berry fruits as well as notes of peppery herbs and a touch of minerality, medium-bodied richness, a fleshy, expansive mouthfeel, and a great finish. It would be a great house red and should keep nicely for 3-5 years."

"A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, and 10% Carignan grown on 30 year old vines and aged in 90% concrete tanks and 10% in oak barrels. Scented with bright raspberry, the palate has spiced and savory notes, leading with rhubarb and white pepper. Powdered rose petal tannins are firm and lead to a beefier middle. This wine is delightful: juicy and bright."

"Deep hazy ruby, this medium-bodied blend exudes a fresh core of blackberries, cranberries, tart cranberries, thyme and violets. Its balance between refreshing acidity and fine tannins make it so easy to drink. Enjoy now."

"Dark ruby. Spicy, dark berries show on the nose with hints of black cherry and herbs. Soft on the attack and traditionally styled with a light-medium weight plate. Lovely, complex fruit and savory flavors, finishing dry with lingering rich extract. A blend of 50% Grenache, 305 Syrah, 10% Cinsault, and 10% Carignan matured in 90% concrete tanks and 10% oak barrels. - Don WINKLER"
