Wine Spectator: Very ripe and flattering, with loads of linzer torte, cassis and crushed cherry fruit, but well-supported by notes of cocoa, graphite and toasty spice. The finish is long and ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Revealing the lightest ruby color, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Sablons offers an exquisitely fragrant, ethereal nose of licorice, kirsch, sandy, loamy soil and spice box....

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2007 Toscana Rosso is a very pretty wine. The warm, radiant personality comes through in the generous, supple red fruit. Rose petal, red cherries and flowers linger on the...
