95 points James Suckling"A very serious St.-Estèphe with excellent concentration, firm tannins and a dark soul. I love the earth, walnut, bark and smoke aromas that pour out of this. Very long, dramatic, dry finish. Better from 2021." 94 points...

93 points Decanter"Majoring on black pepper spice, damson and raspberry fruits, this is austere right now, with plenty of tannic heft. A wine that is going to age well but needs another five years in bottle to really open up. But there is juice...

95 points Jeb Dunnuck"Coming all from sedimentary soils on the eastern side of the hill and brought up in 20% new barrels, the 2016 Ermitage Les Dionnières is a gem in the lineup. Blackberries, currants, roasted herbs, cured meats, and spice notes...

92 points Wine Spectator“Fresh and nicely delineated, with bright star fruit, verbena, honeysuckle and white peach flavors that zip along, backed by good energy on the finish.” Vinous Reverie Notes100 % Marsanne. Soil. Slightly acid...

97 points Wine Spectator"A gorgeous core of steeped raspberry, boysenberry and fig fruit gives this a showy side. A lush structure flows underneath, while long echoes of warm ganache, black tea and espresso linger. The fruit keeps this in the suave and...

91 points Vinous"The 2021 Le Difese is redolent of crushed red berry fruit, rose petal, lavender, spice and sweet pipe tobacco. Medium in body yet nicely layered, the 2021 is impeccably balanced. It is also a sheer delight to taste at this early stage...

98 points James Suckling"Notes of anise and mint, with demure hints of fruit, yet this is a wine of texture, detail and drive, demanding time. Very powerful and expansive, with a stony, phenolic drag across a prodigiously long finish. Wonderful...

91 points Wine Enthusiast"Crisp Asian pear flesh, jicama and a light lemon glaze meet with a wet clay minerality on the nose of this twist-top bottling that gets a wider distribution than most of this brand's output. Subtle green pear flavors are cut by...

91 points Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateThe only one of the 2019 reds to have been bottled at the time of my visit, the 2019 Crozes Hermitage is a super effort, and it should represent a terrific value (the 2018 sells for about $30). Hints of violets...

91 points Wine Enthusiast"Fruity and refreshing, this well-balanced and medium-bodied wine offers mouthfilling Golden apple and Bosc pear flavors backed by lively acidity and mild notes of vanilla and butter." Vinous Reverie Notes"Los Primeros - meaning...

91 points Wine Spectator"Silky-textured, with glossy red and black fruit. Gains shape from gently grippy tannins, while crushed iron details add savory dimension. This is flecked with tapenade and fresh black pepper. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre...

93 points Wine Spectator"Gracefully structured, with a vibrant beam of cherry and raspberry flavors accented by stony minerality and dusky spices. Builds richness toward refined tannins." 93 points Decanter"Savoury, dark and brooding, this wine is a...
