96 points Wine Spectator"Elegant and approachable, this stunning red offers seductive aromatics of smoked incense and red tea, with floral high notes, followed by a well of cassis, licorice and red currant flavors coated in graphite. Dusty in feel, with...

98+ points Jeb Dunnuck"On another level, the 2019 Ermitage Ex Voto Blanc is more reductive and tight, with a brilliant, concentrated, full-bodied, layered profile on the palate. White currants, quinces, scorched earth, and charcoal all define this...

91 points Vinous"Ruby-red. Aromas of ripe red and dark berries, pungent flowers and smoky minerals and a hint of "garrigue' in the background. Juicy, supple and concentrated, offering energetic black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors supported by tangy...

97 points Decanter"Citrusy and grapefruit-led thanks to the Bourboulenc. Touch of anise, touch of fennel, lovely acidity and freshness, with a gentle saline line. Generous but only just full-bodied, this shows liveliness and more depth than many white...

91 points Jeb Dunnuck"Mostly Clairette, the 2022 Ventoux Les Ribes Du Vallat Blanc has some pear and apple-laced fruit to go with beautiful sappy herbal, floral, and mineral aromas and flavors. Balanced, medium-bodied, vibrant, and fresh, it's a...

90 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2021 Rasteau Les Coteaux brings a touch more density and depth. A similar blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, aged 12 months in concrete tank, it has a beautiful elegance about it as well as medium-bodied aromas and flavors of...

93 points Jeb Dunnuck"From the oldest Grenache vines of the estate (planted in 1924), the 2021 Rasteau Héritage 1924 reveals a semi-opaque ruby hue as well as a gorgeous perfume of black raspberries, spring flowers, and Provençal spice...
