From almost 60-year-old Cinsault vines planted on a sandy site, the 2020 Vin de France Le Peche Originel Sans Soufre Ajoute was made entirely in concrete. It's an enthralling effort, boasting intricate aromas of roses, black tea, orange zest and stone fruit. Expansive on the palate, it feels light and lacy at the same time, gently pulsing with vitality on...
A tank sample of the 2018 Lirac La Reine des Bois suggests yet another top vintage for this reliable cuvée. It's more "red fruits" than the 2017, but it's still fully ripe, with velvety tannins, ample weight and power on the palate and a bright, vibrant finish.
the 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape offers up notes of sous-bois on the nose, yet it remains full-bodied, generous and rich on the palate.

Jeb Dunnuck "More Hermitage than Crozes-Hermitage, the 2015 Crozes Ermitage Les Varonniers comes from a cool, west facing parcel and the same soils as the Bessards lieu-dit on Hermitage. Burning embers, ozone, saddle leather, beef blood and a liqueur of rocks bouquet gives way to a full-bodied, silky, awesome Crozes-Hermitage that's undoubtedly the...
Showing a more tight, structured profile than on release, yet no less impressive, the 2007 Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Châteauneuf-du-Pape delivers brilliant aromas of raspberry, licorice, roasted meats, sappy garrigue, and sweet spice driven aromatics on the nose. Full-bodied and large scaled, with a rich core of fruit and solid structure, this...
