91 Joe Czerwinski - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The medium to full-bodied 2016 Cotes du Rhone Villages Valreas is a classic example of the appellation. Ripe cherries lead the way, joined by hints of thyme, bay leaf and dried spices for complexity. The plump mid-palate is concentrated and creamy in texture, with tannins that turn silky on the finish. This charming wine should drink well for 5-6 years."
