99 points Wine Advocate"The 2018 Canon is blended of 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc, with a pH of 3.69 and 14% alcohol. Deep purple-black in color, it comes sashaying out of the glass with glamorous notes of cinnamon stick, baked blackberries, black...

100 points Jeb Dunnuck"Scheduled to be bottled early in 2022, the 2018 Côte Rôtie La Mouline is a blockbuster of a wine offering full-bodied aromas and flavors of black raspberries, cassis, spring flowers, espresso, and violets. Coming from a...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck"Quite possibly the finest vintage of this cuvée I've tasted, the 2020 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière offers that rare mix of richness and elegance that makes this vintage so compelling. Classic notes of cassis, ripe...

96 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2022 Côtes Catalanes Secret De Schistes Blanc is all Grenache Gris that was raised in a mix of barrels and amphora. Attractive apple and melon fruits, some honeyed mineral and floral nuances, medium to full body, and both...

94 points James Suckling"A juicy and savory red with dark-berry and orange-peel aromas and flavors. Full-bodied with tight, chewy tannins that give the wine length and focus. From biodynamically grown grapes. 30% merlot, 25% cabernet franc, 20% syrah,...

94 points Wine Enthusiast"A tight, young wine with tannins and structure still firmly intact, this offers great potential. It has smoky richness, with black fruits in the background ready to move forward. It shows weight, density and needs to age for...

95 points James Suckling"A different style to the previous vintage of Los Parientes. This shows nimbler, more lime-like white and green fruit with green apples, nectarines, green tea and some chamomile. Very cool, taut and vibrant with bright,...

95 points Wine Advocate"Chiefly (90%) from Les Plantiers—a little-known lieu-dit toward the western base of the slope—with about 10% Les Bessards, Sorrel`s 2020 Hermitage looks like its customary supple, silky self, with masses of raspberry...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2020 Hermitage Les Rocoules Blanc brings more richness and depth, with a similar quince, honeysuckle, green almond, and brioche-driven bouquet. It's a powerhouse on the palate and is full-bodied, deep, opulent, and viscous, with...

96 points Decanter"Good sense of weight, volume and depth here. The acidity is marked and nicely integrated, as is the alcohol and the oak for that matter - a harmonious, though certainly a sizeable and mighty wine. Concentrated, intense and long, with a...

Jancis Robinson"66% Zinfandel, 34% Petite Sirah.Pale provençal pink. Mineral with bright strawberries – just slightly crunchy and underripe. So fresh and mouth-watering. I do think it would be fair to say that, because it is 8 am and I...

95 points James Suckling"Black cherries and flowers, such as roses on the nose. Medium to full body with firm, silky tannins and a clear finish. Very al dente. Drink after 2027."94 points Decanter"This Brunello is an assemblage of plots in two...
