Decanter, 90 Points 

"Earthy brambly fruits, quite voluminous and generous on the palate, plenty of fruit to chew on. The alcohol is quite high, but this has plenty of texture and chewy, denim-like tannins. Blackberry pâte de fruits. Good value. Made by one of the best producers in Côte-Rôtie. Part of the blend is aged in oak barrels." 

Jeb Dunnuck, 90 Points 

"Readers looking for a great introduction to this estate should check out the 2019 Côtes Du Rhône, which is 80% Syrah and 10% each of Grenache and Mourvèdre, from the northern part of the Rhone. Delivering plenty of classic northern character in its darker, peppery fruits, it’s medium-bodied and has silky tannins as well as terrific overall balance. Drink bottles over the coming 3-5 years." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
