2021

90 points Vinous"The 2021 Brut Kila Cava is a blend of 50% Xarel·lo, 25% Macabeu and 25% Parellada, sourced from Penedès. Aged for 24 months on fine lees, this bright yellow sparkling wine reveals aromas of lemon and lime, with layers of...

96 points Jeb Dunnuck"A big, ripe, opulent, and sexy white, the 2021 Hermitage Blanc has honeyed orchard and quince-like fruit, medium to full body, some acacia flower and spicy nuances, a layered, decadent mouthfeel, and that rare mix of freshness and...

94 points James Suckling"A tight and focused syrah with blackberries, blueberries, bark, spices, tar and grilled meat on both the nose and palate. It’s medium- to full-bodied with juicy fruit and a slightly chewy finish. Needs time to soften. From...

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...

96 points Wine Advocate"The 2021 Dits del Terra shows lower alcohol and more freshness, and it has an herbal note and feels very young and undeveloped. Like most of the 2021s, they shortened the time of aging, and it was completely in concrete and didn't...

93 points Wine Spectator"A clean, brisk white, featuring yellow plum, wet stone, floral and lemon flavors. This has a roundness to its profile, though cut by vivid acidity, while the finish evokes ripe yellow fruit and mineral. Shows fine balance and...

93 points James Suckling"I love the precise balance of full southerly ripeness with a touch of northerly freshness. Stacks of fully ripe red fruit aromas and remarkably fine tannins for this appellation make this stand out in the crowd. Long, complex,...

Vinous Reverie NotesThis wine was made with Sauvignon Blanc from Bacchus Vineyard as well as Semillon from Dionysus Vineyard, two of the three properties that collectively make up the group known as Sagemoor Vineyards. With some of the oldest vines...

99 points James Suckling"Aromas of blackcurrants, iodine, crushed stone, hints of mint and sage. Blue fruits. Full-bodied with chewy tannins that open with air. It’s racy and very long. Very tannin driven and energetic with power and focus...

98 points Vinous"The 2021 Tignanello is every bit as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel and then just after bottling. Silky and polished, with exceptional finesse, the 2021 has all the pedigree to become a modern benchmark for Tignanello and...

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...
