"The wine opens with cassis, muddled blackberry, dried field grass, tobacco leaf and black-cherry skin. Pillowy briary fruit acknowledges grippy tannins that emerge midpalate and carry towards a finish that reveals hints of black olive. This wine demands grilled meats, roasted chicken and your stinkiest blue cheese. " —Wine Enthusiast

"Based on 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, and 10% Mourvèdre, the 2023 Côtes du Rhône reveals beautiful blackberries, red berries, peppery herbs, and violets. Medium-bodied and supple on the palate, it has a round, charming texture and beautiful balance. Brought up partially in foudres, this pleasure-bent effort will shine over the coming 5-7 years. Barrel Sample: 89-91" —Jeb Dunnuck

"The 2023 Côtes du Rhône opens with gourmand aromas of dark fruits, dark cherries and flowers. Medium-bodied, juicy and supple, it’s immediately appealing and easy to enjoy. It's a perfect introduction to the wines of the Rhône Valley." —Wine Advocate

"A sturdy, substantial Cotes du Rhone, with plenty of ripe, round fruit supported by pronounced mineral intensity. A whiff of mesquite smoke and a kick of bitter cherry pit punctuate the close. Firmly structured, with plenty of stuffing and good intensity throughout. Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre." —Wine Spectator
