94 points Wine Enthusiast"Richly intense high tones of fresh cranberries, rhubarb and peppercorn contribute to a voluminous nose of overripe strawberries and freshly picked cherries. The palate is round and textured with ripe cherries, quince, limestone...

90 points James Suckling"A perfumed nose with sliced pears, grapefruit pith, white flowers and leafy herbs. Vibrant and floral on the palate with round texture and tangy acidity. Fruity and flavorful. Sustainable." Vinous Reverie NotesMulderbosch...

95 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2021 Chardonnay Beckstoffer Carneros Lake Vineyard has an almost Burgundian sense of reduction as well as beautiful ripe stone fruits, mulled pear, almond, and honeyed mineral-like aromas and flavors. It's medium-bodied, has...

97 points Wine Advocate"The 2019 Pintas Vintage Port is a field blend from more than 40 different grapes from very old vines (around 90 years). It comes in with 108 grams of residual sugar and was bottled in May 2021 after 19 months in old chestnut casks...

93 points Jeb Dunnuck"Peppery red and blue fruits, garrigue, and some Southern Rhône street market-like notes all emerge from the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape, a blend of 65% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, and 10% Syrah. Nicely balanced, medium-bodied,...

94 points Wine Advocate"I couldn't discern much difference between the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Privilege and the Esprit de Maucoil. The Privilege is a floral yet full-bodied wine that never seems overly rich or heavy, but instead, it steadily unfurls...
