"The 2012 Côtes du Rhône is another gem from this team. Licorice, herbs, pepper, and plenty of fruit come together in this full-bodied, structured, and textured wine. A blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah aged primarily in concrete tanks, this is a sublime Côtes du Rhône (and superb value for money) to be enjoyed over the next 3–4 years.” (Wine Advocate 2014 – Robert Parker)
