94-95 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

A refined and pretty Sauternes with crushed apple, spice and dried pear character. Medium body with a fresh spice and intense finish at the end.

The 2022 Giraud is very beautiful. In this vintage, Giraud is not quite as rich as it can be, and yet it still offers notable depth and nuance. Spice, ginger, orange confit and apricot jam open nicely in a mid-weight Giraud that shows terrific energy.

This is a riot of fresh passion fruit and melon, really vibrant and intense. The palate is all crisp pear, apple and lighter tropical fruit. Drink now. Screw cap.

94 Wine Enthusiast

From the producer's high-elevation site, and blended with 8% Cabernet Franc, 7% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot, this is an earthy and brooding red. Sage, cedar and dark berry fruit combine around polished tannin and notes of crushed rock and dark chocolate, finishing with a tease of spicy clove.

94 Decanter

A perfumed, fresh nose filled with violets, lavender, black currants. The palate is plush, dense and precise, finishing with a purity and deftness that is increasingly hard to find in Napa. Impressively ready to drink even at this young stage.

93 Wine Spectator

Vivid and expressive, with a lovely beam of plum, anise and boysenberry notes sailing through, flanked with sweet bay leaf and violet notes and carrying through the lengthy finish. This has the grip to cellar too, but approachable now for its vivacious fruit. Drink now through 2034. 1,800 cases made. (# 81 Top 100 Wines of 2021)

Pale in color, subtle aromas of Bosc pear, pineapple and citrus fruit show on the nose. The dry palate shows lemon, rose petals and raspberry, while a subtle minerality note marks the close.

A pretty, light-pink color in the glass. Light aromas, too, but clean and pleasant hints of wild strawberry and blood-orange come through on the palate. It remains light, but it’s balanced and rather charming. Super aperitif for the summer. Drink now.

"Pretty nose of blueberries, cherries, wild strawberries, oyster shells and cloves. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and fine, sleek tannins. Crunchy, mineral finish. Drink or hold."

93 Luis Gutierrez - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2012 Viña Bosconia Reserva is perhaps a little too young (María José López de Heredia likes more polished wines, and for her this wine was too tough), with some tannins and the chalky texture from the limestone soils. This blend of Tempranillo with 15% Garnacho and 5% between Graciano and Mazuelo matured in used American oak barrels for five years. 80,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2019.

"The non-vintage Dry Amontillado Los Arcos Solera Reserva reveals a medium amber hue along with a nutty, honeyed, dry personality with great acid." (08/12)

"A more flattering style, with an off-dry edge to the walnut paste, hazelnut, date and clove-studded orange notes, which show nice focus and zip on the finish. Drink now. 2,000 cases imported. -JM" (Reviewed 02/12)

90 Wine Enthusiast

"Powerful, concentrated wine, a very solid Cabernet-dominated wine. It has dark tannins, the black currant fruit still hiding in the background. Dark and dense, it's destined for good aging, at least over the next six years. -RV"

Loads of upfront blackberry, dark currant, plum and candied cherry fruits and a richly tannic mouth feel that excites lovers of this varietal and also is backed up with hints of leather, toasty oak, dark chocolate, licorice, crushed violets and dried lavender accents. While 2016s have plenty of grip, they are starting to reveal a nice supple full bodied palate that delivers a hedonistic physical pleasure and lingering creamy aftertaste and this inky purple Petite is delicious and at its best with hearty meat dishes.

92 The Tasting Panel

Jump right into ripe black fruit-blackberry and plum-as it permeates the palate. Sweet tobacco builds a textural coating, with a creamy core of smashed black raspberry
