The Blanc twin to one of our longstanding best sellers. This is a slluightly savoury blend of primarily Viognier, with lesser amounts of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. It shows stonefruit - peach and apricot courtesy of the Viognier dominance, and tropical fruit to follow. It's vibrant and quite textural presence, with moderate acidity making for a refreshing finish.

60% Syrah, 40% Grenache.
Unusually for Cotes du Rhone this is majority Shiraz, rather than Grenache. As a result the Saint-Esprit's deep color has a dark, plum-like hue. The nose is classical Syrah, with berry fruit, violet and licorice. It has a full, rounded palate with delicate tannins. Excellent value.

"The 2016 Hermitage Les Bessards offers more violets and floral notions with hints of blue fruits (cassis blueberries) full-bodied richness and building sweet polished tannin. It's another ripe opulent 2016 that's going to drink nicely in its youth yet age gracefully given its purity and balance. While a step back from the otherworldly 2015 this brilliant wine is one of the gems in the vintage.94-97 points" - Jeb Dunnuck

"The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée De La Reine des Bois is a deeper, more masculine wine with gorgeous cassis and blackberry fruits as well as graphite, licorice, crushed stone, violets, and lavender nuances. Rich, full-bodied, and incredibly concentrated, it has a brilliant sense of freshness and purity as well as length on the finish. It's going to require 4-5 years of bottle age, but this straight-up thrilling Châteauneuf du Pape will have 20-25 years of prime drinking." 98+ Jeb … more

"Moving to the 2019 reds and a blend of 40% Syrah and 30% each of Mourvèdre and Grenache, the 2019
Lirac La Reine Des Bois reveals a deep purple hue as well as a masculine, mineral-laced bouquet of cassis,
framboise, ground pepper, graphite, and smoked meat. The Syrah dominates the nose at present, yet it
shows more Grenache sexiness on the palate and is full-bodied, has a seamless texture, great tannins, and
a beautiful finish. There are enough tannins and … more
