The 2021 Saint Joseph Blanc is clearly outstanding, offering bright citrus, orange blossom, and honeyed flower notes in a medium-bodied, elegant, beautifully balanced package. I like its mid-palate depth and...

Plenty of forest berries, dark plums, currants, stones and baking spices on the nose. Medium to full body with fine tannins. Dark berries on the palate with structure and texture. Focused and rather ample and crisp for...

Notes of stewed red and dark fruit with hints of leather and wet forest floor. Medium body with mild fruit character and a slightly chewy tannin structure. Yet, it’s drinkable now.

Medium-bodied, fresh, meaty and spicy with a strong sense of pepper and garrigue, fresh, soft and vibrant, the wine will drink well fairly early for Beaucastel due to its freshness, balance and ripe, soft tannins. The...

The classic cuvée from this terrific Pic Saint Loup estate, the 2021 Pic Saint Loup checks in as 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, and 10% Mourvèdre raised all in concrete tanks. It's well worth seeking out and buying, offering up...

The 2015 L'Amiral is an impressive, savory, refined Cabernet Franc that is almost Bordeaux-like in its classicism. This cuvée is only made in what the producer deems to be an exceptional year, and then aged in barrel for...

The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape is slightly deeper ruby/plum-hued and is based on 47% Grenache, 29% Mourvedre, and 24% Syrah. Smoked red and black fruits, ground pepper, cured meats, and leather all emerge on the nose, and...

Yves Canarelli grew this wine at his estate in Tarabucetta, at the southern tip of Corsica, where ocean breezes blow across the granite hillsides, thickening grape skins and helping to keep disease at bay in his...

Rich and full, this intensely savory rosé is texturally very pure and integrated, with a beguiling mix of sea salt–coated pink grapefruit, rose petal and tangerine flavors. Notes of chamomile tea and a green herbal thread...

Exuberant in its fruit character, this rosé layers dragonfruit, watermelon and lemon-lime citrus notes, finishing honeyed and rich. It took two days for that complexity to emerge from the finish, so decant it before...

Dense tannins mark this wine out. It has a dry core that still dominates the black fruits. A juicy character does pervade the wine, giving promise for the long-term future. Drink this wine from 2025. — Roger Voss

(94+ points) The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape is terrific, offering classic darker berry fruits as well as peppery garrigue and sappy flower notes. As with the Boisrenard release, this has plenty of tannins and structure, but...

A bright, high-pitched style, with makrut lime, green apple and green melon flavors laced with a jasmine note. A subtle mineral edge provides balance on the finish. Drink now through 2024. 850 cases made, 170 cases imported.
