Mouvedre, Grenache, Cinsault, Mouvedre, etc: Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 93 points "The 1994 Chateauneuf du Pape is a black/ruby/purple wine with sweet, expansive, chewy fruit. It reminds me of a more concentrated 1985, with nearly the character and size of the prodigious 1989."

Mouvedre, Grenache, Cinsault, Mouvedre, etc: Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 89-91 points "The deep ruby color is accompanied by forward, attractive aromatics consisting of black raspberries, cherries, licorice, floral, and herb scents. The wine is fruit-driven, with less structure than usual, but luscious cassis, licorice, and blackberries inundate the palate with no hard edges. A seductive, supple-textured, medium to full-bodied Beaucastel, this wine should drink well young, and last for 15 or more years."

Mouvedre, Grenache, Cinsault, Mouvedre, etc: Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 91 points "The prodigious 1999 Beaucastel boasts aromas of blackberry fruit intermixed with cassis, licorice, roasted meats, leather, and truffles. While it does not possess much fat or precociousness, it displays definition and elegance. This is a full-bodied, concentrated, classic Beaucastel."

Item RD1037
Grenache, Mouvedre, Cinsault: Bonneau is extremely traditional. When the fermentation in cement tanks is finished the wine gets transfered into old Burgundian barrels. Here it stays until Bonneau finds it ready to be bottled - maybe after 6, 8 or 10 years.

Item RD1212
Syrah: RP 98+ pts
"The biggest production cuvee, the 2005 Ermitage Le Pavillon (1,067 cases in this vintage) has a dense purple color, the classic acacia flower, graphite-based, smoky creme de cassis nose with a tremendous intensity and a full-bodied power and richness that is awesome. These are monumental wines, and when you think that this wine, much like most of its siblings, is made from yields of 12-18 hectoliters per hectare, the explanation for its concentration and extraordinary expression of terroir is obvious."

Item RD1216
Syrah: RP 96 pts
"There are 481 cases of the black/purple 2005 Ermitage Le Meal. As always, classic blackberry, asphalt, charcoal, and beef blood notes jump from the glass of this intense wine. Full-bodied, with staggering concentration and a personality not terribly dissimilar from a first-growth Pauillac, but showing no evidence of oak whatsoever (and that is in spite of being aged in 100% new oak casks), this wine needs 10-12 years of bottle age, and should keep for 50-100 years."

Item WH497
Grenache Blanc: Robert Parker 89 pts
"The powerful, rich 2003 Cotes du Rhone is made from 100% Grenache blanc. It is a fat, almost flabby wine but comes alive, I am sure, with some of the Mediterranean dishes it is often served with in its region of origin. I would still drink it over the next several years given its fragile acid."

Item WH145
Viognier: Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar 92 "Green-tinged straw. Intense mineral, floral and botanical herb notes accent orange and pear on the nose; reminds me of yellow Chartreuse. Firm and sharply focused, with spicy pear, citrus, licorice and succulent herb flavors. Finishes with an oily sensation of concentration and impressive length. This improves with aeration and, as Mme. Baratin notes, "should be served at the same temperature as a red wine."
