Neil Mechanic: Medium dark ruby. The bouquet is packed with dried Morello cherry, forest floor and earth tones laced with Chinese five spice and cinnamon notes. After a decant, Pommard's cla...

Wine Spectator: Complex floral and wild berry scents turn taut and tannic, leading to a stemmy edge that provides a firm backbone, with a slightly clipped finish. Best from 2013 through 2019....

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: It's not on account of his professed dislike for the 2010 vintage that Gilles de Domingo showed me Cooper Mountain's 2011 Pinot Noir Life when it had been in bottle for only f...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: From very sandy soils east of St.-Emilion, this 2010 also has a big, ball-busting level of alcohol. It offers up loads of black cherry fruit, some underbrush and loamy soil un...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Light yellow. A complex bouquet displays singed orange, fresh and dried apricot, dried flowers and toffee, with a whisper of smoky lees. Fat and silky but fairly dry, with h...

Blend: Grenache is the dominant grape, followed by Syrah and Cinsault.

Wine Spectator: Caramel brown in color, with the viscosity of motor oil, this is soft yet firm, carrying flavors of walnut, dried fig and burnt sugar. Sweet but not oppressively so, with a sl...

Wine Spectator: Lots of bouncy acidity here, with a nice range of blue and black fruits and and mouthwatering pain d'épices note on the toasted finish.-J.M.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2010 Estate Selection seems even better, perhaps because it's had an extra year of bottle age. The silky tannins, sweet red and black fruits, and the big, perfumed nose of...

Wine Spectator: Still a bit compact, with blueberry coulis, fig and blackberry paste notes tightly wound, backed by tangy black licorice, singed apple wood and tar on the finish, which featur...
