(9/25/2018) "Deep purple color. Roasted aromas and flavors of chocolate coconut macaroon, honeycomb and peach tapioca, roasted nuts, and toasted cedar plank with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long finish that shows notes of dark chocolate mousse, creme brulee, and ground nuts with fine, chewy tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. A spot on petite sirah with great flavor and finesse."

(3/2018) "Vibrant blackberry aromas leap from the glass on this bottling, which also offers anise, violet and dried meat aromas. The palate combines smashed black currants with black pepper and violets, wrapped together by serious tannins. Best Buy"

(11/15/2016) "Top 100 Wines of 2016 - A muscular but polished red, with brooding blackberry pie, dark cherry and roasted plum notes complemented by iron, peppercorn and licorice details. Full but not overpowering tannins linger on the savory, herb-tinged finish. Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. Drink now through 2022."

(4/2018) This 50/50 blend of Grenache and Cinsault is made by superstar Rhone winemaker Philippe Cambie. It's an absolute joy, offering bright red florals, lifted red fruit notes of wild strawberry and raspberry, a hint of spice and a brisk, fresh finish. Impressive from the minute you pop the cork, the wine gets better with air. Try it by itself or with spicy foods!

(2/21/2018) "The 2017 Terrasses Rose sports a Provencal salmon color as well as terrific notes of orange blossom, hints of cherries, spices, and a distinct saltiness that keeps you coming back to the glass. Clean, beautifully made and vibrant, it's an outstanding Rose to drink over the coming 6-12 months. This cuvee is a blend of 50% Cinsault, 40% Grenache, and 10% Syrah, brought up all in tank."

(11/1/2015) "Powerful blackberry aromas are matched by creamy oak. This Monastrell-Syrah blend is a driller, with strong tannins and more than enough body weight. Oaky flavors of dark-berry fruits and black plums finish with vanilla and lactic notes. This is rock solid from head to toe; drink through 2021."

(2/21/2018) "Spice, citrus, white flowers and some seaside saltiness all emerge from the 2017 Cote d'Est, a deliciously fresh, clean, balanced white that represents a smoking value. This beauty has texture, freshness, and length. The blend is 50% Grenache Blanc, 30% Chardonnay, and 20% Roussanne all aged 4 months in tank on the lees, and it's ideal for drinking over the coming year. This cuvee is a joint venture with Eric Solomon and comes from east-facing vineyards planted on gentle slopes close to the Mediterranean, just a few kilometers inland from the sea near Canet-en-Roussillon. Maturity 2018 - 2019."

(6/2018) This Rose of Cabernet Franc is going to surprise a lot of folks. Not only does it pack loads of deep red fruit flavor, it also gives a rich, weighty mouthfeel that is typically found in more expensive wines. Hints of bell pepper and rocky earth support the fruit and the long, peppery finish. Delicious!
