9.3

The 2020 Cornas Renaissance is delicious. It bursts with crushed violet, cured meat, menthol and black fruit aromatics. Peppery layers add more complexity. Offering increased concentration and an even riper profile than the 2022, I have no doubt that the powerful and neatly balanced 2020 Renaissance will be a long-distance runner. Medium- to full-bodied, it concludes with persistence on the complex finish. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, March 2024)

Not many CA semillons floating around. Legendary vineyard! Preserved lemon, nuts, honeysuckle, honey with a bit of spice, hint of vanilla, good funk, great acidity. I keep wanting more. Amazing with point Reyes pierce point cheese. — 2 years ago

Cherry, plum, soil tones, leather. Gotta remember to pop these every so often because I bought so damn much of this wine and, as long-lived as these bottles are, they won’t last forever. Reliably delicious — 3 months ago
