Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: 94+ Blackberry, currants, toasted spice, graphite and hints of licorice all soar from the glass of Herve's classic 2013 Cptes du Roussillon Villages le Clos des Fees. Made from 50% Syrah, 20% each of Carignan and...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Deep, dark plums, blue fruit and finer, earthy nuances. The palate has essence-like concentration from the super low grape yield per acre. A very plush, muscular grenache that's strong, assertive and very long. Chewy...

Decanter, 100 points: The Dunns' Trailer Vineyard, perched high on Howell Mountain at around 2,100 ft, was planted in 1972 with a low-yielding selection Cabernet Sauvignon and finally replanted after the 2013 vintage. The old vines' swan song...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Aromas of dried fruit, spice, mushroom and sage. Full body, ripe tannins and a flavorful finish. Classic 2013. Beautiful now. One for the cellar, too!

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: Little can be added to the greatness of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin, a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine (600 cases) is truly stunning in its dense, crème de cassis and...
