Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: A big, sweet, ripe nose of raspberry jam interwoven with white flowers, blueberries, kirsch and some subtle oak and camphor is followed by an intensely concentrated yet silky ...

Wine Spectator: Black licorice and mineral on the nose. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a fruity finish. Balanced and silky. But turns just a tad chewy.

Wine Enthusiast: It's the 100% Merlot that gives the alcohol and superripe fruit to this wine, redeemed by the acidity. Licorice and dark chocolate flavors go with the sweetest plums and spice...

Wine Spectator: This generous red offers ripe plum, espresso and smoke flavors that are firm and rather charry, with a tobacco and tar finish. Bold yet smooth. Best from 2013 through 2019.

Wine Spectator: A rich, powerful style, with lots of dark mulled fig, espresso, blackberry sauce and Black Forest cake notes, laced with streaks of bittersweet cocoa powder, which extend thro...

Wine Enthusiast: Barrel sample. Powerful, but smooth, with ripe milk chocolate and sweetness. Very velvet in texture, with just enough acidity. R.V.

Chuck Hayward: The color of this beautiful rose is an intense, translucent magenta. Pure aromas of strawberry mash with light, spicy notes make the palate thirst for a taste. Ripe merlot fro...

Wine Spectator: An ultrarich Fronsac, with blackberry and fresh herbs on the nose. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a medium finish. A little short. Starts off great. Score range: 87-90 -J...

James Suckling: Blueberry and fresh mushrooms, with hints of earth. Medium-to-full body, with medium chewy tannins and a medium finish. A little austere. Second wine of Cantermerle, which mad...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: (merlot with some cabernet franc): Bright ruby-red. Lively, slightly medicinal aromas of cassis, blackberry, licorice and flowers. Supple, sweet and nicely concentrated, wi...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Dense ruby/purple, with an unctuously sweet kiss of blackberry jam intermixed with raspberries, cherries, licorice, incense and forest floor, the complex aromatics are followe...
