89 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhone Report

"An earthy, borderline herbaceous effort, the 2010 Féraud-Brunel Côtes du Rhône Villages offers up loads of sweet tobacco, currant bud, cracked pepper, and damp earth aromas and flavors that flow through a medium-bodied, juicy, and beautifully fruited palate. Showing more minerality with air, this has solid heft through the mid-palate and beautiful purity and sweetness of fruit. It is a round, mouth filling, and delicious southern Rhône that’s perfect for drinking over the coming 3-5 years."

88 Wine Spectator

"Dark plum skin and blackberry fruit flavors pump along, buttressed by notes of ganache and cocoa powder, with a smoky, medium-weight finish. Drink now. 3,330 cases made."
