Wine Enthusiast: A single-vineyard wine (though not labeled as such), this was barrel-fermented in neutral French oak and bottled after about four months. Honey and toast are delicate nuances;...

Wine Front: Some sulphur, good fruit, peachy, zesty lemon, good acid, plenty of flint and drive. Like that it's a bit extra minerally, possibly because of the sulphur, but hey. Jumps on t...

Ryan Moses: 100% shiraz, aged in used hogs and foudre for 12 months. Inky core to a hazy purple rim. An abundantly aromatic nose leads with fruitcake and is rounded out with plum, dark ch...

Wine Spectator: Intense and vividly focused, with plenty of pungent grass and fresh thyme notes up front, revealing a fleshy, juicy core of peach, citrus and melon. A crisp, bright acidity c...

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...

Wine Spectator: Almost as excellent as the 2003. There's intense botrytis spice on the nose, with lemon peel and dried pineapple. Full-bodied, superspicy and intense. Extremely racy. A beauti...

Wine Spectator: Menthol and prune aromas and flavors highlight this intense, sweet dessert wine. It exhibits plenty of brightness and complexity, ending with butterscotch and bitter chocolate...

Wine Spectator: Tight and fresh, with vivid wild berry and raspberry character that's pure and spicy, with a stemmy edge, yet it works well, as the fruit density and tannins fold together in ...

Wine Spectator: This amber dessert wine is rich and viscous on the palate, with date, fig, honey and clove notes. Intense and sweet, without being sugary. Drink now through 2020. -TM

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Pale, bright yellow. Dusty stone, lemon drop and wild herbs on the nose. At once rich and penetrating, with strong acidity and mineral spine intensifying the flavors of grap...

Wine Spectator: Offers fine concentration, depth and intensity in the apricot, peach and passion fruit flavors. Light, elegant and succulent, this delivers harmony and grace, with a lilting, ...

Wine Spectator: Dense with both cherry and currant flavors and dusty tannins, this red is awkward now. There seems to be the requisite fruit to match its firm tannins, but needs time. Best fr...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Girardin's 2009 Moulin-a-Vent La Bernadine is, to be sure, the most concentrated of his three wines from this vintage and appellation, but it is also the most marked by the te...

Wine Spectator: Long and racy, with lovely range to the blueberry, cassis and raspberry fruit, followed by a long, sweet spice-filled finish. A racy graphite edge cuts underneath, adding leng...

James Suckling: It's a little close on the nose but the palate shows a lovely liveliness. Notes of mandarines and apricots on the palate. Round and tense. Medium sweet.

Wine Spectator: Solid, with a core of raspberry and steeped blackberry fruit inlaid with anise, apple wood and wood spice notes, all backed by a well-integrated graphite edge on the finish. D...

Wine Spectator: Ripe and focused, with a mouthwatering iron note driving the cassis, blackberry and raspberry fruit along. Floral and chalk hints hang in the background for now. Pure. Best fr...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2007 Lindaflor Chardonnay is medium gold-colored with an attractive bouquet of toast, butterscotch, apple, poached pear, and pineapple. Full-bodied and smooth-textured, it...

Wine Spectator: This has lovely verbena and thyme notes, along with white asparagus and citrus oil hints and a crackling finish. Pure, chiseled and delicious.-J.M.

James Suckling: Blueberries, raspberries, licorice, and flowers on the nose. Full body, with ultra-fine tannins and a racy and long finish. This is a wine, with form and finesse. Best ever fr...
