jeb dunnuck logo 250"Lots of peppery herbs, kirsch, and assorted leather and spice notes emerge from the 2019 Côtes du Rhône Vieilles Vignes, a medium to full-bodied, charming, balanced blend of equal parts Grenache and Syrah. Still aging in concrete, it’s going to drink nicely right out of the gate. (I have no idea why it wouldn’t have been bottled by now.)"

jeb dunnuck logo 250"A blend of equal parts Syrah and Grenache from vines not far from the domaine of Marcoux, the 2017 Côtes du Rhône offers a great nose of currants, kirsch, dried earth, and savory garrigue. Sweetly fruited and balanced, it has plenty of richness as well as a light, deliciously drinkable style."

wine enthusiast 89 pts"Chocolate truffles and licorice twists lend spice to flavors of blackberry preserves and roasted plum in this fruity, full-bodied red. A blend of equal parts unoaked Syrah and Grenache, it's an immediately approachable, luscious wine best enjoyed now through 2024. - ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"
