Expressive and robust, with raspberry and guava flavors that are highlighted by notes of rose petal and black tea as this builds tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2030. 52,000 cases made.

Tasted early in its life, this Pinot Noir shows a lot of potential. Sweet hyacinth and ripe raspberry aromas gently mix with notes of cedar and dried blueberries. Cranberry and raspberry flavors offer a tart counterpoint, backed by clove, cinnamon, elevated acidity and velvety tannins.

This is a bold Pinot Noir, ideal for the steakhouse. Aromas of roasted boysenberry, rose and violet lead from the nose into a ripe palate of lush black cherry, cocoa and caramel flavors. The wine retains some freshness while veering toward sweet.

Honeydew melon and blood orange aromas are almost equaled by the wine's pronounced toasted filbert and mineral notes. This is a lithe and nimble Chardonnay, with its crisp texture and lemon zest-pine needle flavor combination. A faint fennel flavor appears on the finish. Excellent value here.

This is dusty and mineral with notes of apples and guava as well as white pepper, ashes and crushed stones. Dried herbs, too. The palate is sleek and polished with attractive textural feeling and a juicy core of fruit. Flavorful finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

The 2022 La Clotte is rich, sensual and super-expressive. An exotic mélange of succulent red fruit, cedar, tobacco, dried herbs and blood orange opens in the glass. More than anything else, the 2022 impresses with its balance and integrity. Already quite seamless in presentation, the 2022 is a gorgeous wine in the making. The blend is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, picked between September 8 and 27. Aging is expected to be 18 months.

From a holding on the limestone plateau just outside the village, the 2022 La Clotte is one of the high points of the Vauthier portfolio this year, offering up attractive aromas of cherries, minty blackberries and raw cocoa, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and charming palate with a deep core of fruit, lively acids and refined tannins.

92-93 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Intense fruit with cherries and redcurrants that are exuberant. Full and layered with lots of fruit. 85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc

Tangy ginger and white-pepper aromas will wake you right up, followed by bursts of juniper berries, wet rocks and tart Anjou pears. The wine's crisp texture is like biting into a chilled apple, with white-peach and pine-needle flavors, and it's lovely with goat-cheese pastry puffs.

96-97 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Deep fruit, dark spices and graphite with wide yet polished, linear tannins. Full-bodied and intense with depth and structure. Long and chalky at the end. Big wine.

The first vintage produced in the estate's new winery, which more than doubled the number of vats, permitting sub-plot by sub-plot vinification, the brilliant 2022 Langoa Barton offers up aromas of dark berries, cassis, violets and cigar wrapper, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy palate endowed with terrific depth and tension. Polished and penetrating, it should match or even surpass the 2019 and 2016 vintages, and it is sure to be one of the more intelligent purchases of the en primeur campaign.

The Grand Vin 2022 Château Langoa Barton checks in as 56.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc that was raised in 60% new barrels. Medium-bodied and vibrant, with a fresher, elegant, yet still textured profile, it has pure black and blue fruits, some lead pencil, tobacco, and earthy nuances, fine tannins, and a great finish. This 2022 is all about finesse and elegance. Tasted twice with consistent notes.

A blend of 56.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and 2.5% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Langoa Barton is ageing in 60% new oak. Deep garnet-purple in color, it prances out with exuberant notes of warm cassis, blueberry pie, and Morello cherries, leading to hints of chocolate mint, clove oil, and tilled soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock full of juicy black fruits, framed by plush tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with a spicy kick.

The 2022 Rosé of Pinot Noir Hopkins Ranch is a gorgeous aperitif-style Rosé to drink now and over the next year or two. Creamy and expressive, the 2022 is impeccably balanced from start to finish. Today, it is absolutely irresistible.

93 Wine Spectator

Racy and focused, with sanguine and iron notes piercing through the core of red currant and damson plum fruit. The long finish has mouthwatering cut as the minerality stays vibrant. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2022 through 2032. 2,830 cases made.

95 Decanter

Ripe and concentrated toasty oak, honeyed, apple, floral, plum and spicy nose. Soft on the palate with a delicate floral character and opulent flavours of ripe pear, white stone fruits and crème pâtissière, with a long, well-modulated, almond and textured finish. It comes together well and has excellent ageing potential.
