Ruby red in color. Lighter colored than a California Syrah but beautiful all the same. Nose of black fruit, leather, oak, violet, dried cherry and blueberry. After a few hours a scent of game materializes. Lively acidity with medium+ tannins. This is drinking well now but will be perfect in 5-10 years. Palate of black currant, raspberry, spice, blackberry, and minerals, with a hint of smoke and meat. Delicious.

93pts James Suckling– 2016 vintage

“There’s a lot to like in this 2016. Pepper-dusted, red berries, strawberries, red plums and raspberries. Refined herbs on offer, too. The palate is succulent, fleshy and soft with tangy, red berries and cherries. This has a more approachable feel than the Reserve bottling from here. Drink or hold.”

93pts Vinous– 2016 vintage

“Tasted from an assemblage of six lieux-dits in tank, the 2018 CôteRôtie Village boasts attractive aromas of peppery herbs, raspberries and cherries. Medium to full-bodied in the mouth, it’s plush and easy to drink already, with notions of silk and olive on the finish. Best of all, it’s fun to drink.”
