95 Points! The 2021 Syrah Estate has a medium ruby color and smoky, flinty tones that give way to cranberries, blackberries, juniper, resinous herbs and cured meats.

91 Points! The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a gorgeous, entry-level wine for the estate. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, licorice, spice and gravel are all pushed forward. This is an unusually forward wine although there is plenty of the typical savory/graphite notes that are so typical of this site. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Aromas of black plum, blackberry cobbler and fresh tobacco leaf take the lead, followed by flavors of pink peppercorn, dried sage and coco powder. A rich aromatic profile is coupled with a savory palate for an integrated and compelling finish." Learn More

Only $79.98 at checkout, 97 Points! Even better, with remarkable purity, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Jubilee is a thrill a minute and reveals a deep purple color as well as a huge perfume of black cherries, blackberries, graphite, and chocolate, with more and more floral and violet notes developing with time in the glass. Possessing a silky, expansive, layered texture, full body, awesome tannins, and again, thrilling purity of fruit. A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc that was fermented and aged 22 months in 80% new French oak, the only downside here is that there are just 50 cases (two barrels) made. - Jeb Dunnuck Learn More

A more complex nose features notes of violet, anise and red and dark currant scents. The succulent yet nicely detailed flavors possess a subtle minerality that becomes more apparent on the youthfully austere and balanced finale that could use better depth. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan 2024  Learn More

"The 2022 Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Aux Chaumes, which comes from the border of the Vosne appellation, has a more elegant and refined bouquet compared to the regular bottling sans lieu-dit. The palate is well-structured with firm grip, a little drier and more sinewy in style with admirable length on the finish." 89-91, Neal Martin, Vinous, Jan 2024  

“ A slightly more elegant nose freely offers up its combination of red cherry, raspberry and discreet spice nuances. There is both good richness and minerality to the delicious and vibrant middleweight flavors that possess a bit more overall depth on the balanced and youthfully austere finale. One to consider, especially if you like to age wines from the Hautes Côtes.” Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan 2024

This is also exuberantly fresh with its essence of red currant, earth and soft spice wisps. There is slightly better volume to the delicious middleweight flavors that also display a touch of rusticity on the balanced and slightly firmer finale. - Allen Meadows, Burghound
