Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2013 Firebelle Proprietary Red is a blend of 76% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. This wine shows loads of roasted espresso notes mixed with white chocolate, plum, black cherry and currant. The wine...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Bold blueberry and smoky meat aromas lead to complex, expressive flavors of dark plum, crushed stone and licorice that linger toward big but ripe tannins. Drink now through 2027. 175 cases made. –TF

Wine Spectator, 98 points: Shows fantastic range, featuring creamed Jonagold apple, papaya, toasted coconut, brioche and pineapple notes, laced with macadamia nut and heather honey details. The long, sweetened butter–filled finish shows citrus oil...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2013 Riesling Spatlese Norheimer Kirschheck offers very fine raisin and grey slate aromas on the nose, richer and riper fruit than the Leistenberg Kabinett because this is a south-facing site and –– a Spätlese...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Another fascinating wine that symbolizes the new level of quality as well as innovation and creativeness at Hess Collection is the 2014 Proprietary Red The Lion Tamer, a red blend, which is 55% Malbec, 15% Zinfandel, 12%...

Wine Spectator, 96 points: (WS93-96 points) The fresh blueberry, cherry and black currant flavors give this a wide range, while racy graphite and a mouthwatering anise streak drive the finish. The fruit is so enticing that you lose track of how...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 92 points: Light yellow-gold. A complex, deeply perfumed bouquet evokes candied citrus and pit fruits, toasted almond, honey and chamomile. Spicy and savory in character, offering intense, broad poached pear and orange flavors and a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2014 Syrah Domaine Des Chirats comes from Rockpile. It is a collaboration with Yves Cuilleron from France’s Northern Rhône. This is made from what is believed to be Chapoutier suitcase clones. It is 100% Syrah aged in...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Some meaty barrel-derived aromas with attractive spices across graphite and deep plum aromas. The palate has very attractive and appealing dark cherry flavors with plush, velvety tannins. Very long. Try from 2022.

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 90 points: (17/20) Intense aroma of lime and cedar – incisive and definite, quite woody (not oaky). Creamy oak is more evident on the palate. Powerful and mealy on the palate, plenty of oak spice and rounded depth of flavour. The...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 1999 Chateau Margaux has been the standout First Growth since I first tasted the wine from barrel. Now reaching its plateau of maturity, it has an understated nose at first, armed with impressive mineralité with a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: (WA94-96 points) The 2012 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru yielded just four barrels this year, one of them new. It has a powerful, almost ravishing bouquet with vibrant, feisty red berry fruit infused with orange rind and...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Supple, open-textured and layered, with beautifully defined currant, plum and cocoa flavors, floating serenely over a polished texture on a finish that unfurls gracefully. Light-footed, showing terrific presence and...
