Plump blackberry and currant fruit are underpinned by more mineral, spicy notes like graphite and black pepper on this crowd-pleasing Cab. Midweight, with succulent black fruit in the fore, framed by spice-flecked tannins, this makes for a solid week-night pizza or burger pairing. — Christina Pickard

Soft and plush, with cola notes to complement the jammy berry and cherry flavors. Shows cedar and herb details, plus a touch of star anise on the finish. Drink now.

"Gorgeous, elegant and ageworthy. With a softly tannic structure, it’s drinkable now, but should age and gain complexity for 10 years. Dry and smooth, it has complex flavors of blackberries, black cherries, currants, red licorice, cola and oak.

90 Wine Spectator

Presents a distinctive mix of raspberry and huckleberry flavors that border on jammy, shaded by smoky, toasty oak. Turns graceful and elegant, with supple, refined tannins and lingering flavors of herb and black olive.

94 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

A concentrated red made up of a blend of 43% touriga franca, 40% touriga nacional, 7% tinta cao, 5% tinta roriz and 5% sousao. This has ripe aromas of prunes and spices with violets and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied and very intense with plenty of dark-fruit flavors. Aged in 50% new oak. Better in a year or two.

87-90 Jasper Morris, MW - Inside Burgundy

A blend of Echards and Petit Gamets. All destemmed, 10% new wood. Another fresh lively purple, with additional refinement in the bouquet, less obviously juicy. Dark raspberry. Close to blackberry fruit, medium volume in the mouth, attractive finish, adequate acidity. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Nov 2024.

95 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

A super creamy, delicious and detailed red with oodles of red fruit, silky tannins and a full body. It tastes pure, fresh, almost delicate, offering raspberries, cherry cream, blueberries, cafe au lait and subtle oak toast on the palate. A gentle, layered, pretty wine that seems not at all affected by the wildfire smoke that year. Drinkable now, but best from 2030.

A precise, well-built and seductive rosé with aromas of forest berries, dried orange peel and fresh flowers on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity. Attractive character on the palate, with texture and poise. It has plenty of verve and focus, with a long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

90 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Striking aromas of cardamom, cloves and dried flowers. Very good balance of restrained richness, fine-grained tannin and bitterness on the medium-bodied palate. Surprisingly dry finish. Drink now.

95 Lisa Perrotti-Brown - The Wine Independent

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Samantha’s Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep garnet-purple color. Crushed black cherries, black raspberries, and mulberries scents leap from the glass, followed by a profound core of warm cassis, dark chocolate, Indian spices, and menthol with a waft of licorice. The full-bodied palate delivers amazing intensity and brightness with beautiful tension and a grainy texture, featuring loads of black, red, and blue fruit layers, finishing long and minerally. It has that red-fruited, earlier harvest vivacity with nicely ripe tannins—delicious!

97 Eric Guido - Vinous Media

The 2023 Cabernet Franc presents a cascade of dried roses and dusty earth, coming together with savory herbs and nuances of green peppercorn as it slowly evolves in the glass. It displays a pretty inner sweetness and herbal lift before giving way to a silken wave of ripe raspberry and spice. A coating of fine-grained tannin frames the finish as it tapers off, expertly balanced, remarkably long and spicy to the core. In a word, fantastic.

91 Eric Guido - Vinous Media

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon wafts up with an inviting mix of crushed blackberries and violet pastille. Soft textured and round, it splashes across the palate with ripe wild berry fruit lifted by a hint of citrus and spice. Gently tannic and long, this leaves a dark floral resonance and a slight licorice tinge to linger on.

95 The Tasting Panel

A luscious and generous effort with depth and fine acidity. Anything but austere yet balanced and elegant; fresh, stylish, and long.

90 William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Pillowy and charming, the latest rendition of Delamotte's NV Brut offers up attractive aromas of orchard fruit, fresh bread and citrus oil. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant, with a pretty pinpoint mousse and lively balancing acids, it's drinking well out of the gates but will also develop gracefully for a few years in the cellar.
