RP94+94+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Oct 2018 Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Proprietary Red Blend Family Reserve Generations is intensely scented of warm black and red currants, Black Forest cake and blueberry compote with nuances of chocolate mint, new leather, tilled soil and fallen leaves. Full-bodied with a taut frame of grainy tannins supporting the densely packed black fruit layers, it has a long lingering minty kick on the finish.SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 31, 2020 Features a solid range blackberry paste, fig and plum notes, with cassis bush, bittersweet cocoa and licorice root accents.

WE9595 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 7/1/2012 A prodigious effort, the 2009 Vieilles Vignes from Grand Veneur includes a whopping 40% Mourvèdre in the blend (there’s also 10% Syrah, with the balance being Grenache), which no doubt accounts for its dark flavor profile. This is a full-bodied, lushly textured, expansive wine, with a finish that seems to go on forever. Approachable now, it should age well for 10–12 years at least.RP93+93–95 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2010 The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (a cuvee that was first made in 2006) is a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre and 20% Syrah, all aged in new oak casks. Despite all the new oak, its influence is marginal. Some toasty notes are present, but the wine is very full-bodied with extraordinarily intense aromas and flavors of creme de cassis, kirsch, lavender, licorice and hints of lead pencil shavings and smoke. Dense, full-bodied, tannic and super intense, this is a massive 2009 that begs for 4–5 years of cellaring. It should drink well for 20–25 years thereafter.
RP91+91–93 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Oct 2019 The 2018 Lirac Via Secreta includes a healthy 40% Mourvèdre, with the rest of the assemblage evenly divided among Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah. While the nose is subdued, with just hints of cherries and mint, the palate is full-bodied, ripe and expansive, framed by silky tannins. It’s almost creamy, yet vibrant at the same time, with a fresh, zesty finish.WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/31/2020 Loads of violet and lilac perfume accent fresh, primary blackberry and plum flavors in this irresistibly fruity blend of Mourvèdre (40%), Cinsault (20%), Grenache (20%) and Syrah (20%). It’s not a deeply complex wine but voluptuous and immediately likable. Fine, feathery tannins and a touch of minerality linger on the finish.

JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, June 15, 2021 Dark plums, black cherries, grilled herbs and smoke on the nose. It’s full-bodied with firm, sleek tannins. Supple and juicy with fresh acidity. Savory, flavorful finish. Drink or hold.RP8888 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 26th Feb 2021 Mainly aged in tank to preserve the vibrant fruit character, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County has a deep garnet-purple color and gives up notes of stewed black and red plums and fresh black berries with hints of dried mint and tobacco leaf. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a good core of juicy black fruits with a soft texture and plenty of freshness, finishing on a minty note. 260,000 cases were made.
JS9494 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, April 28, 2021 A beautiful, ripe wine, offering plums and chocolate, as well as tile and walnuts. It’s full and layered with beautiful fruit and caressing tannins. Rock on. Drink in 2022.VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Sep 2020 The 2017 Al Passo is a blend of equal parts Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Open-knit and plaint, with soft curves, the 2017 offers tons of immediacy. Cedar, tobacco, dried herbs and macerated cherry all meld together in an inviting, mid-weight Tuscan red to drink over the next decade or so.RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 15th Apr 2021 The Tolaini 2017 Al Passo is always an ambitious wine that takes the best of the grapes in its blend: Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Each give freshness, structure and textural fiber. Al Passo opens to dark berry fruit and plum, with spice, tobacco and tilled earth. This is a well-priced wine that promises lots of pairings, especially out of a Tuscan cookbook.SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 30, 2021 A mix of black cherry, black currant, cedar, iron and tobacco flavors grace this taut red. Nicely balanced and vibrant, ends with a long, tobacco- and spice-tinged finish. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2027. 8,850 cases made, 6,000 cases imported.
RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Aug 2019 This estate’s 2017 Gigondas emerged from my blind tastings as one of the wines of the vintage. It’s full-bodied, concentrated and powerful, yet it balances that with delicate aromas of rose petals, herbal tea, red raspberries and ripe stone fruit. Supple across the mid-palate, it finishes long, framed by silky tannins that should help sustain it through 2030.JD9494 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - September 26, 2019 Up with the top wines in the appellation, the 2017 Gigondas from winemaker Jerome Cartier checks in as 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah that was destemmed and brought up in concrete tanks. Medium to full-bodied, with building richness and ultra-fine tannins, it has thrilling notes of ripe black fruits, smoked meats, ground pepper, and spring flowers. It does everything right, and while beautiful today, it’s going to evolve for 10–15 years.
JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, April 8, 2021 Fresh-plum, blackberry and black-tea aromas. It’s medium-bodied with firm, powdery tannins and a flavorful, creamy finish. Drink now.RP90+90+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Mar 2021 Maybe it was me, but I find the 2020 Malbec to be really excellent, with ripe Malbec fruit, notes of violets and berries and a spicy twist. The palate is round and juicy, nicely textured, with plush tannins and a long finish. Delicious, and a bargain at that price.
RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 26th Feb 2010 The 2001 CHATEAU MUSAR, bottled in 2004, is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan, aged for one year in French oak. Nuanced by cherries and spice, it is quite delicious. Which wine you like better of this lineup — the ’01 or ’00, or even the ’02 Hochar, is a matter of taste, perhaps, more than any inherent quality issue, as the styles are rather different. The ’00 is the powerhouse bruiser, the most rustic, while the Hochar is the approachable, easier wine. This is the one in the middle, arguably the best balance of fruit and power. On the downside, this is as gamey and funky as the 2000, but the balance is different, the wine seeming fruitier and fleshier, not quite as austere. Depending on your taste, you may find that a good thing, or prefer the more powerful and intellectual 2000. This is still powerful, I hasten to add, with drying notes on the finish, but the fruitiness melds beautifully with the barnyard notes, and it is nicely supported by the tannin rather than overwhelmed. As with the 2000, this should age well, although the 2000 should age longer, and this will be a wine some will love, and some will find has too much barnyard. Personally, I enjoyed it a lot, and was just imagining how it would work with venison. Drink now–2020.
SP8989 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 31, 2021 Ruby grapefruit, pomelo and Fuji apple flavors are focused, intense and lip-smacking on the finish. Drink now. 100,000 cases imported.RP8787 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 17th Jun 2021 Villa’s 2020 Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc strikes a careful balance between leafy, herbal and even gently vegetal characters and tropical fruit. Hints of snow peas accent passion fruit on the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is streamlined and refreshing, ending on notes of cut grass, fresh citrus and tinned pineapple. It’s a solid effort, especially as an entry-level offering.
JD9393 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - March 22, 2021 Based on 100% Garnacha, the 2019 Evodia is a killer value that delivers incredible Garnacha flair at a crazy good price. Kirsch, blackberry, acacia flower, violet, and sandalwood notes give way to a medium to full-bodied, seamless, beautifully layered wine with fabulous tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. This is the finest wine at this price point in the world.RP90+90+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Apr 2020 The 2019 Evodia is pure Garnacha from old head-pruned vines in the Sierra Santa Cruz in Calatayud. It fermented with around 20% full clusters in concrete and matured mostly in concrete with just 20% of the blend put in used oak barrels for three months. There is a component that matured in concrete egg that I was able to taste separately that seems to bring a touch of freshness to the final blend, something welcomed in a warm year like 2019, which seems like a fresher version of 2017, when the wines achieved quite good ripeness. The nose opens up nicely in the glass and is quite aromatic and floral, exuberant, with a heady touch of ripe fruit. It’s young and tasty, tender and pleasant to drink, with a forward personality. A real bargain. I hope there are more wines like this in Aragon, where the wealth of Garnacha vineyards would make it possible quite easily. 150,000 bottles produced. There are two batches per year. What I tasted had been bottled in February 2020, just a few days before I sampled it.
SP9595 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 31, 2020 An impressive red of breadth and depth, featuring black cherry, plum, leather, earth, iron and cedar aromas and flavors. This is solidly built and well-balanced, with finely honed tannins and lively acidity providing backbone. Best from 2021 through 2040. 15,000 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 15th Apr 2021 Here’s a fun Tuscan red with what appears to be a jazz or R&B pianist depicted on the front label, oozing all kinds of Millennial appeal. The Tolaini 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Legit plays the role thanks to the legitimate darkness, sultriness and suppleness of the mouthfeel. Dark fruit and blackberry are followed by light spice, earth and tobacco. This is a balanced and fruit-forward red that will jazz up any steak-frites dinner served in a tavern with cigar smoke hanging heavy, if such a thing exists any more. And while it may not be priced perfectly for the walk-up, top-floor Brooklyn set, this wine is definitely “on point.”VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Sep 2021 A bold, juicy wine, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Legit offers plenty of immediacy. Dried herbs, tobacco and blackberry give this mid-weight Cabernet a good deal of aromatic complexity to play off its mid-weight structure.
JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, April 2, 2020 An attractive, fruity red with some hazelnut character to the floral undertones. Medium-bodied, juicy and satisfying. Plenty going on. Drink now.RP8888 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Oct 2019 The 2019 Festivo Malbec is the unoaked entry-level produced with grapes from Vista Flores. It is fruit-driven, ripe and with some sweet fruit and aromas of violets and berries. It’s ripe and ready, with developed aromas and a soft palate, approachable and easy to drink. 200,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2019.
RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 17th Oct 2019 The 2017 Etna Rosso (made with 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio) offers a very smoky and ashy bouquet that tells you, without any doubt, that this is a wine from the mighty Etna volcano. Rose petal and light berry aromas blur and soften the lines of those pretty mineral notes that are so strong at the beginning. Blue violets and blueberries are delicate accents that fill out the close. This vintage really pulls it all together nicely, a great pairing for pappardelle with wild chanterelle mushrooms. With 70,000 bottles made, this is an accessible wine offered at a great value.WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 1/1/2020 Smooth and bright, this boasts an earthy elegance, opening with aromas of wild berry, blue flower and Mediterranean herb that interlace with earthy whiffs of leather and game. The juicy, linear palate offers crushed red cherry, orange zest, star anise and white pepper alongside lithe tannins and lively acidity. It closes on a saline note. Drink through 2027.
VN92+92–94 pts. - Vinous - Sep 2020 The 2019 Chablis “Dessus La Carrière” comes from vines over 50 years old. It has an intense wet limestone and oyster shell bouquet that is beautifully defined and quintessentially Chablis. The palate is vibrant right from the start, slightly chalky in texture, with a killer line of acidity and a surfeit of green apples mixed with crushed stone on the austere but utterly captivating finish. Highly recommended.RP91+91+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 5th Aug 2021 The 2019 Chablis Dessus la Carrière opens in the glass with notions of citrus zest, white flowers, crisp orchard fruit and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and chiseled, with lively acids and a long, saline finish, it’s concentrated and structured to age.
