Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: 98+ The 2018 Pinot Noir Wayfarer Vineyard has a medium ruby color and slowly opening perfume of garrigue, dried orange peel, prosciutto and rose petals with mineral-laced cranberry and red and black berry fruits. The...
jebdunnuck.com, 93 points: Moving to the reds, the appellation 2018 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast was just about completely destemmed (2% stems) and spent 10 months in 18% new French oak. Lots of spice box, earthy forest floor, cherries, and redcurrant...
Vinous, 96 points: The 2018 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Block 43 shows the more floral, lifted side of Bien Nacido, especially to the Block 8. Red berry fruit, chalk, mint, rose petal and white pepper give the Block 43 a distinctive...
jebdunnuck.com, 94 points: Starting with the 2018 Pinot Noir Estate Sta. Rita Hills, which comes from vines around the estate and saw 40% stems, it reveals a medium ruby hue as well as a great bouquet of ripe cherry and raspberry fruits intermixed...
jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: The 2018 Pinot Noir Land's Edge Vineyards is another Sonoma Coast release from this great producer. Medium ruby/purple-hued, with an exotic bouquet of black cherries, blueberries, candied violets, and flowery incense, it...
Vinous, 94 points: (92-94 points) The 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Gravains 1er Cru comes from virtually marn soils and is matured in 50% new oak. It has superb clarity on the nose, featuring precise morello cherry and crushed strawberry...
jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Ripe cherry, plum and ground spice on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with well-integrated tannins. Lovely cocoa character to the palate. Savory, but delicate. Drink or hold.
jamessuckling.com, 94 points: A rich, creamy-textured red with ripe-strawberry, chocolate, stone and hazelnut aromas and flavors. It’s full and layered with attractive fruit and lightly chewy yet polished tannins. Flavorful finish. Subtle, yet...
Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: Fresh boysenberry and cranberry aromas are wrapped in a rusty iron note on the nose of this bottling. There's a tarry tone to the sip, which is firm in tension and offers flavors of black plum, lavender and cracked pepper.
Wine Spectator, 93 points: Big, with cooking spice accents to burnished dark plum and dried blackberry flavors that are supported by fresh acidity. Dark chocolate and toffee linger on finish, which features medium-grained tannins. Drink now through...
jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Extremely fresh and fruity with plums and dried strawberries, as well as a citrus-peel undertone. Full body, light tannins and a delicious finish. Fruit-forward pinot noir. Drink now. Screw cap.
View From The Cellar, 93 points: The Clos du Roi vineyard is a bit warmer microclimate than most of the Savigny premier crus, so I wondered if this would be the one wine in the Camus-Bruchon lineup that showed a bit more of the super ripeness of the 2018...
jamessuckling.com, 94 points: A brambly array of bright, ripe dark fruit with a lithe and juicy feel that carries a bold, deliciously fresh array of dark-cherry and blueberry flavors long on the finish. Zingy and energetic. 10 to 15 per cent stems in...
jebdunnuck.com, 94 points: Readers looking for a textbook Russian River Pinot should check out the 2018 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley. Offering up a medium ruby hue as well as lots of spiced red fruits, cola, leafy herbs, and flowery incense...
jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Quite an intense, rich, red and dark-cherry and red-plum nose. There are some sappy and spicy elements on offer, too. The palate has such smooth, fleshy and fluid texture with bright red cherries sitting up on the finish...
jamessuckling.com, 96 points: This deliberately, elegantly tuned blend of three parcels (Beaux Frères, Upper Terrace and Sequitur vineyards) delivers a redder-cherry focus of fruit on the nose with roses and some gently fragrant notes of leaves and...
Burghound, 95 points: (92-95 points) A notably ripe yet attractively fresh nose is comprised by notes of exuberantly floral, spice, plum liqueur and relatively prominent menthol influences. The wonderfully sleek, concentrated and intensely...
jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Intense aromas of dried strawberry with stone and mineral undertones. Medium to full body with tight, firm tannins and beautiful length and depth. This needs three or four years to come together. Try after 2023.
Wine Spectator, 90 points: Luscious cherry, blackberry and toasty spice flavors highlight this juicy red, which is immediately appealing, and though not that complex or long, makes you want another sip. Fine balance. Drink now. 200 cases imported. — BS
View From The Cellar, 91 points: 91+ The old vine bottling of Pimentiers (eighty-nine years of age in 2018) is deeper and more structured than the Cuvée Reine Joly, but this is not atypical by any means, as this is always built like a fine premier cru...
jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Wow. This is a solid Corton with ripe strawberries, plums, bark and porcini. Full-bodied with tight, fine tannins, focused depth of fruit and excellent length. Quite muscular for the vintage. Better after 2023.
Wine Spectator, 93 points: Well marked by sweet oak, this red nonetheless offers ample black cherry, plum, earth and iron flavors that should emerge with bottle age. It also has a solid grip of tannins that curtail the finish for now. Best from...
Wine Spectator, 93 points: Lush in texture and balanced on the soft side, this red displays black cherry, blackberry, violet and earth flavors. Terrific harmony and a long, complex finish of fruit and mineral. Will be approachable in the short...
Vinous, 95 points: Glistening ruby. Powerful red fruit liqueur, floral pastille, incense and smoky mineral aromas are complemented hints of musky sassafras and exotic spices. Appealingly sweet and expansive on the palate, offering pliant...
Vinous, 94 points: (92-94 points) The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes comes from 60- to 80-year-old vines and is matured in 25% new oak. It has more refinement and delineation on the nose compared to the regular village cru, offering...
jamessuckling.com, 97 points: This has such ripe red-cherry pinot fruit aromas, as well as forest wood and a swathe of deep-set spices. The palate carries such plush red and dark-cherry flavors in a long, fresh and energetic mode. Commanding pinot...
Wine Spectator, 94 points: Fragrant, this red is full of floral and exotic spice aromas. The silky texture envelops wild cherry and berry, sandalwood and mineral flavors. The firm tannins and vibrant acidity drive the long, expansive finish. Best...
View From The Cellar, 92 points: The 2018 Grand Liards is also outstanding, as these old vines also moderate crop levels year in and year out, so there was no issue with getting the tannins properly ripe before the sugars climbed out of control. The...
