95 Jeb Dunnuck - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape les Grenaches de Pierre is in the top 5-10 wines in the vintage. Coming from a single plot of sandy soils in La Crau and made from 100% Grenache, it knocks it out of the park with its black raspberry, cassis, lavender, licorice and smoked earth-like aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant, it has awesome purity, no hard edges and building tannin. It’s already hard to resist, but will drink nicely through 2027."

95 Wine Spectator

"Deliciously mouthfilling, with a wide-ranging core of kirsch, red licorice, blackberry paste, sage, pepper, bay and tobacco notes pumping along authoritatively. Singed juniper and allspice accents add subtle nuance to the lengthy, defined finish. Best from 2015 through 2030. 50 cases imported."
