Made in a combination of concrete eggs and French oak, the 2022 Mon Trajet Chardonnay Bentrock Vineyard boasts unvarnished fruit aromas of apple, pear and mixed citrus. In the mouth, the wine is medium to full-bodied, plump and rounded, then eases into pineapple and honey notes on the lingering finish.

93 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

The 2022 Chardonnay is bright, focused and bristling with energy. Lemon peel, chalk, mint, white pepper and slate convey tons of Bentrock essence. The 2022 shows terrific freshness and verve. This tense, brilliant Chardonnay is impeccably done.

The 2021 Granito del Cadalso has more fruit and is rounder, more approachable-looking, from locations in the valley that deliver that profile. It fermented mostly in concrete vats, destemmed and with indigenous yeasts, and had an élevage in concrete of approximately six months. It has notes of red berries and herbs, with purity and a gentle mouthfeel through very fine, chalky tannins. 4,800 bottles were filled in April 2022.

The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is spicy to the core, with a burst of wild herbs, musky green citrus and sea air that form its intense bouquet. This is juicy and soft-textured, blending lime-laced orchard fruits with a cascade of minerals and spice. Fresh, pleasantly tense yet a bit short, the 2025 does its job well by calling the taster back to the glass for more. – Eric Guido

95 Bonfort’s Wine & Spirits Journal

A beautiful example of Oakville’s exceptional fruit quality, this Cabernet Sauvignon delivers depth, polish, and power in equal measure. Violet, espresso, dark fruit, and sweet tobacco move through a structured core of velvety tannins, with Oakville’s signature balance of richness and restraint. Hand harvested and hand sorted from well-draining West Oakville soils, it reflects the precision of the outstanding 2023 vintage: ripe, expressive, finely textured, and built to age.

The 2023 Red Wine is a fabulous Grenache/Syrah blend. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, dried herbs, lavender and mocha are all beautifully dialed up. Floral overtones add striking finesse and lift. What a gorgeous and vivid wine this is.

94 Joe Czerwinski - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2023 PharoahMoans Red Wine is a 50-50 blend of Carneros Grenache and Pope Valley Syrah, but despite omitting Mouvèdre, it is the best vintage of this wine this taster has sampled. Pretty florals—violets and roses—join tea-like, potpourri-ish nuances and berry fruit in this medium- to full-bodied wine. Lively, fresh and complex, the palate is framed by silky tannins and displays ample length on the finish. It's a super value, as long as you're not hung up on Bordeaux varieties or fancy mid-valley AVAs."

94 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

"This Rhone-style blend is unusual in Napa Valley and gives dark, earthy, savory flavors on a firm texture. Full-bodied, moderately tannic and restrained in fruit flavors, instead emphasizing singed herb, oak smoke, star anise and espresso flavors. A 50-50 blend of grenache and syrah grapes. Drink now or hold."

This has a clean, mineral nose with fresh limes, green guavas, sliced apples and crushed chalk. Very pretty and balanced with medium body and clean acidity. Flavorful and seductive.

92 Wine Spectator

"Broad-shouldered and deeply structured, with raspberry and cherry fruit leather flavors drawing in rose petal and herb tea accents as this builds tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2032. 160 cases made. -TF"

91 Wine Enthusiast

"In a heck of a gearshift, the wine's initial aromas of black cherries and a chocolate Tootsie Pop evolve into an earthy mix of oregano and blackberry tea. The wine feels tart and lean on the palate, as bold acidity matches with flavors of dark raspberry-flavored drinking vinegar, black tea and another touch of oregano. -MA"

"The 2023 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is one of the stars in this range from Ramey. Creamy and layered, with superb persistence, the 2023 is a real standout. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, mint, white pepper and tangerine peel soar across the palate. All the elements are so well balanced. What a stunner."

96 Jeb Dunnuck - jebdunnuck.com

The 2023 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is bright, savory, and a different beast altogether, with focused, refreshing acidity and a floating, lifted feel. Notes of green pear, lime, lemon pith, tarragon, and mint all emerge. Medium to full-bodied, it has cut and energy throughout. Drink 2026-2038.

96 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

A very pretty, fruity wine at first whiff, then it gets more concentrated, structured and tense on the palate. Medium-bodied and well braced by citrus acidity, with green apples, golden apples, baking spices and Bosc pears in a rich but lively texture. From a Martinelli family vineyard. Drink now or hold.

95 Erin Brooks - Robert Parker's the Wine Advocate

"The 2023 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is exotic and perfumed! Peach, lime custard, lemongrass, pie crust and roasted almond aromas pour from the glass. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and sapid with youthfully flinty flavors. Racy acidity adds tension, and it has a very long finish."

95-97 Lisa Perrotti-Brown - The Wine Palate

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Malescot St. Exupéry prances out with gregarious notes of juicy blueberries and black raspberries, leading to hints of violets, mossy tree bark, and camphor. The medium-bodied palate is intense with shimmery blue and red berry flavors, supported by ripe, fine-grained tannins and great tension, finishing long and perfumed. Stunning!

95-96 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

A very structured red with black currants, blackberries and chocolate aromas. It’s full and flexing, with solid tannins and a long finish. Impressive. Better than 2022?

90 Erin Larkin - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

It's impossible to read this label and not think of Nick Cave, which is a great way to start I suppose. The 2020 Red Right Hand is a blend of Shiraz, Grenache and Tempranillo, although the order of these varieties changes with the seasons. This is herbal and sweet, with a soft core of fleshy fruit. It's not long or complex in any significant way; the Tempranillo feels like a microscopic cog in the overarching plan, which is a pleasing thing, given the supple flow of Shiraz and Grenache from Margaret River, from whence the fruit for this wine hails. Pleasant drinking here.

90 International Wine Report

The 2023 Quartz Pinot Noir displays a vibrant ruby hue and a bouquet of ripe red cherries, strawberries, with subtle floral and spice notes. On the palate, it’s light-bodied yet flavorful, with a delicate balance of bright acidity and soft tannins. Earthy undertones and a hint of spice add complexity on the finish.

91 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Rich and flavorful with a generous, fruit-driven palate. It offers notes of candied lemons, peaches and fresh nuts, with a medium to full body and a creamy texture. Fine and smooth finish. Good concentration and length. Drink now.

95 Decanter

Positively soaring out of the glass with refined, ripe, dark berry fruits, elegant cedarwood notes, and powerful tannins that are superfine, creating a solid foundation to support all this ripe, generous and pure crunchy black and red fruit character. Complex notes of paprika smoke and unsweetened cocoa powder, along with graphite and anise nuances, infuse the long, full-bodied finish. For all the wine's generosity there's good tension here. A great new release from Julien Fayard.

"A hint of jasmine floralness gives an aromatic lift to the dried lemons, stones and apple pith. Nice structure on the palate with medium body and a dry but fruity finish. Drink now."

92 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

"Aromas of black fruit, chocolate,red currants, dried herbs, graphite and earth. The palate is well balanced, with a rounded mouthfeel, fine-grained tannins and a soft and fruit-driven finish. There’s plenty of generosity and complexity for the price. Drink or hold."

91 Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

It's complex and fragrant on the nose, showing sweet cherry, crunchy apple, oatmeal, and subtle spice aromas. The palate delivers excellent weight and fine flow, well structured by crisp acidity, finishing lingering and pleasingly dry. At its best: now to 2027.

94 Wine Enthusiast

Briary red fruit aromas blend seamlessly with notes of violets and cedar to give the impression of a raspberry coulis served in the garden. Beautifully balanced acidity and tannins, with restrained alcohol, makes it so easy to sip the night away on the pure, distilled essence of marionberries, along with a bit of sage
