2022

93 points Wine Enthusiast“This bottling from three vineyards employs 14% Picpoul to add acidic heft to the formula, which checks off so many white-wine boxes. Aromas of sliced peach, coconut and macadamia nut are cut by crushed stone and chalk on...

Vinous Reverie NotesTasting Notes: An easy-drinking wine with aromas of red and black berries (blackcurrant, blackberry, crunchy cherry), peony, pepper, coffee, and hints of hazelnut on the finish. It is a gourmet and balanced wine, full of freshness...

98 points James Suckling"Notes of anise and mint, with demure hints of fruit, yet this is a wine of texture, detail and drive, demanding time. Very powerful and expansive, with a stony, phenolic drag across a prodigiously long finish. Wonderful...

90-92 points Jeb Dunnuck"Deep purple hued with a classic Syrah nose of ripe black fruits, game, violets, and peppery notes, the 2022 Côtes Du Rhône Villages Vaison-La-Romaine Shyrus hits the palate with medium to full body, ripe yet building...

93 points Tim Aktin, MW"25-45 year-old bush vines of a Segovian Verdejo clone provide the grapes for the "entry" wine from Bodegas Naia. The nose is quite discreet and subtle but the palate reveals beautiful peach and apricot fruit, as well as some monte...

Vinous Reverie NotesWinery: This is the less-famous little brother of our Macon-Villages. Even though the wine was always fun and interesting to work with, in the past Aligoté had always had high yields and failed to ripen enough for sale in...

93 Wine Advocate"The pale Garnacha 2022 La Xara is serious but keeps the freshness and finesse. It fermented with 100% full clusters in 4,500-liter oak vats and matured in 11,000-liter oak vats and 600-liter oak barrels for seven months. It has 13.5%...
