I'm in new territory and I really like the offering here. Nice smoked meat and big dark berry . Fairly approachable out of the gate and will only improved with time. — 7 months ago

2019 vintage. Last tasted 07.30.23 (9.5). Good lord. This is still (unsurprisingly) effing ridiculous. Explosive and giving without being compliant. Every time tasting this, attempt to renounce Cabernet Sauvignon/BDX blends forever. Hopefully someday, I'll make it stick. 02.28.25. — 10 months ago

Starting to soften just slightly and drinks well now with a short decant. Bright red fruits from the grenache, some darker and more savory elements from the mourvedre and just a touch of syrah which I can’t pick out on the palate but makes for a nice bouquet. — 7 years ago

Very typical, lots of black pepper and sausage meat. A bit heavy on the palate and will surely get better with a bit of age. — 10 years ago

Lovely vibrant aromas of garrigue, violet, black cherry, dried cherry, forest floor, blackberry, leather. At 25 years this is still wonderfully fresh with an exceptional finish. Lovely wine — 10 months ago

Tout est fondu, c’est équilibré, rien à redire si ce n’est un petit manque de complexité. J’ai adoré la finesse — 7 years ago

O. M. G. The real deal Cote Rotie. Stephan knows his stuff. A traditional baseline CR with some eccentric savory elements. Still the perfect pairing with lamb chops. — 8 years ago

This Syrah is deep, rich, and luxurious with a wealth of fruit. Black olives, game, licorice and spice round out the full bodied palate. A solid wine but hard to justify at $60.

Slight floral quality to the edgy sweetness and gorgeous black fruit. I suspect some co-fermentation here (Viognier). Lovely, lively, and lithe on the palate. Plenty of acids here, so this will pair with nearly any meats. Just to reiterate, this is not your typical Paso syrah (no offense), but an elegant rendition of the grape. — 11 years ago
