Very hot iron and cloves with green pepper to the dark fruit. Full-to medium-bodied with firm, silky tannins and a fresh, spicy finish. Lots going on, with lots of flavor and character. 100% tintilla.

Black plum, dried mushroom and bruised-blackberry aromas fill the nose followed by smoked meat and damp earth. The palate is reserved with medium-intensity flavors suggested on the nose that flirt with worn leather and dried black-cherry skin. Drink with grilled steak, kebabs and pot roast. — Reggie Solomon

"Intense, powerful and complex, this features heady aromas and flavors of toffee, marzipan, butterscotch and chocolate. Notes of mocha and French roast chime in as well, with a long, glorious fin- ish of dried white fruits and spice. Drink now." —K.M.

Bright aromas of flowers, cedar and currants follow through to a medium to full body. Slight, silky tannins that give the wine beautiful form and length. Better in 2021 when the wine comes together..February/2018

"The bright and youthful aromas of lemons and spring blossoms pull you into this barely medium-bodied dry riesling that’s super refreshing. Not enormously concentrated but so precise, with intense wet stone minerality in the long, pristine finish. A cuvee from vineyards across the appellation on volcanic and marine sedimentary soils. Drink or hold."

90 Eric Guido - Vinous Media

"The 2023 Riesling Willamette Valley is remarkably pretty, with nuances of chamomile, lemon oil and wet stones forming its understated bouquet. Salty and sweet notes mingle on the palate, which displays soft textures and citrus-laced orchard fruit. A minty herbal freshness lingers as the 2023 tapers off with medium length and supreme freshness."

"The 2023 Meddersheimer Rheingrafenberg Riesling Spätlese is already highly stimulating in its very first seconds! This is a savory classic that offers saline and stony aromas intertwined with perfectly ripe and fleshy but not all too lush mango and more yellow stone fruit aromas. Crystalline and savory on the palate, this is a linear and elegant, acidity-driven rather than textured dry Riesling with a long, savory and still-reduced finish. This Riesling is popular in Norway, yet it is probably too sharp and too Nordic for many other export markets. It's age-worthy in any case, with this intense and saline, firmly structured and persistent finish. Screw cap." -Stephan Reinhardt

Old-vine Grenache from a sandy portion of la Crau (ouest) shines in the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Petits Pieds d'Armand. Built along similar lines to the blended bottling but slightly deeper and earthier, it boasts wonderfully fragrant aromas of ripe berries, rose petals and fine leaf tea. It's full-bodied, supple and rich, with a long, velvety finish that hints at espresso and salted licorice.

91 Falstaff Magazine

An intense varietal flavour, tropical and savoury, elderflower, green gooseberry, pomelo and passion fruit. The palate is exciting and fresh, with a well-balanced sweetness and a lively acidity that carries the savoury flavours. A marvellous refreshing drink.

"Bright acidity and detailed texture frames rich flavors of date, candied orange peel, dried apricot, graham cracker and almond cream in this seamlessly integrated, vibrant Blanc de Blancs. A wine drinker's Champagne. Drink now through 2018. 3,000 cases made. -AN"

A blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2024 Haut-Marbuzet shows a more reserved and austere character than in recent vintages. It opens with aromas of dark berries, flowers and subtle spices. Medium-bodied, the wine is juicy and supple, driven by tangy acidity and framed by firm tannins that lead to a compact, somewhat short finish. Hailstorms significantly impacted the Marbuzet plateau, and the damage is evident in the diminished quality and concentration of this year’s wine.
