Wine Spectator: 95 Points - "The stunning bouquet of ripe black cherry, black currant, leather and woodsy spice notes is enticing, while the sweet fruit is a match for the dense structure. The lengthy finish lingers, with tobacco, eucalyptus and iron accents. Drink now through 2030."

92 points. "Another wine that shines for its purity and elegance is the 2012 Cote Rotie. Possessing a terrific perfume of crushed flowers, olive, smoke and pepper, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, no hard edges and a silky, almost sexy texture that keeps you coming back to the glass. Drink it over the coming decade." - Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate, Dec. 2014

Aromas of mulberry, berry compote and savory raspberries introduce this wine. It is medium to full-bodied with cherries and plums, spice, licorice, thyme and chocolate notes adding complexity. This wine is smooth and quaffable with a long, refreshing finish.

Nicely aromatic and a little peppery, with cherry fruit, a little bit of earth, bramble and roasted pepper. The palate possesses a certain masculinity & seriousness: dark fruit flavors, plum and some spice are structured by medium tannins and medium-to-plus acid on this nicely textured wine.
