96 points Decanter"Charming bramble fruit, dark cherries and blackberries bustle along atop a core of deep black tea spice and imposing, structured tannins. Serious, long and astoundingly concentrated." Vinous Reverie NotesImporter: Marc Besnardeau...

98 points James SucklingThis is a superb baby Noval that reminds me of the 1966. Chewy yet so polished. The light sweetness suggests an overall dialing back of the sugar content. Stemmy and lightly green. A truly classic Noval. Almost all from Pinhao...

Jancis Robinson"Glowing garnet. Very fresh and lively and ready to attack. Vigorous and rewarding. Very long and full of character with a rich mix of spices and a top note of herbs. GV *good value* 17/20 points." Vinous Reverie NotesWinery: Grape...

92 points Wine & Spirits"Light in body and nearly stabbing in acidity, this is dominated by marine flavors that bring to mind smoked oysters in their depth, richness and complexity. The acidity seems to accelerate through the wine, stirring up notes...

93 points Wine Advocate"The 2020 Prelude Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is juicy and bright on the nose. Despite its glossy exterior, the wine maintains a freshly turned earth/bramble vibe on the nose, which directly places it as varietally true. A honing...

93 points James Suckling"A firm, chewy red with blackberry and light coffee character. Medium to full body. Solid structure." 91 points Decanter"Extremely juicy cassis and enticing hedgerow here, this is bright, perky, less flesh on the bones than 2018...

93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2018 Vino de Finca is a blend of Monastrell with 25% Garnacha from a cooler, more continental vintage. The Monastrell is from 20- to 30-year-old vines, and the 8-year-old Garnacha is from limestone-rich soils...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck"Even better, the 2016 Condrieu Les Chaillees de l'Enfer is vinified and aged in 25% new French oak (it’s made in the same fashion as the Coteau de Vernon). It would probably be the wine of the vintage if it wasn’t for...

96 points Jeb Dunnuck"A step up, the 2014 Syrah Rodgers Creek Vineyard is a blockbuster effort that reminds me of a good vintage of the Côte Rôtie La Mouline from Guigal. Awesome notes of incense, lavender, bacon fat, and spring flowers gives...

Jancis Robinson"40% Bourboulenc, 20% Grenache Blanc, 20% Roussanne, 20% Marsanne. Old bushvines on the hard limestone screes of La Clape. Hand-picked, 100% de-stemmed, slow-press, gravity-fed into vats. Varieties vinified separately. Grenache, Roussanne...

94 points Wine Enthusiast"In contrast to Santa Duc's pointed single-vineyard bottlings, this Grenache-dominant blend (augmented by Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault) sourced from eight distinct sites throughout Gigondas gives a holistic look at...
