RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Nov 2013 As for the two red wines, the 2012 Bastide Miraflors is a blend of 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache aged in a combination of concrete tanks (for the Grenache) and demi-muids (for the Syrah). It went through a six week maceration, which no doubt explains the wine’s seriously intense fruit. Notes of violets, forest floor, black cherry jam and blackberries make an appearance in this medium-bodied, high-toned, dense, rich, complex, well-delineated red wine. Drink it over the next several years.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

SP9494 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 15, 2020 Aromas of blood, iron and raw beef lead off, followed by flavors of cherry, plum and leather. Rich and harmonious, with a dense underlying structure and terrific length. Approachable now, but this should evolve well over the next few decades.

RP91+91–93 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Apr 2015 I loved the 2013 Minervois la Liviniere les Anciens, and this blend of 100% Carignan knocks it out of the park with its liquid violet, crushed rock, peppery herbs and fresh plum and berry fruits. Medium to full-bodied, with a seamless, elegant profile that the hallmark of the vintage, it has fine tannin and a great mid-palate. It should drink nicely on release and have 5–7 years of longevity.WS9090 pts. - Wine & Spirits - June 1, 2016 From vines planted in 1922, the fruit fermented in concrete tanks and open wooden vats, this is tough, tangy carignan, the fruit tart and red, like seedy raspberries laced with earthy spice. The tannin ropes through the wine like gristle in a steak, the wine chewy without being heavy. For carignan, it’s almost elegant.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Apr 2014 Made from 100% Syrah, the 2012 Minervois Syrah Les Planels is impressive! Offering classic cassis, raspberry, licorice and hints of vanilla, it has fabulous purity, a lively, yet voluptuous and layered texture and a great finish. Hard to resist now, it should evolve gracefully for a solid 7–8 years.SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Apr 30, 2016 There is a freshness behind the savory spice and meaty notes in this medium-bodied red, with bright red berry, plum and bitter chocolate flavors pushing through midpalate.

JD9191 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - February 21, 2018 A custom cuvée made for importer Eric Solomon with Jean-Marc Lafage, the 2016 Alcaria is a blend of 50% Monastrell, 25% Syrah, and the balance Garnacha, brought up in a mix of French and American oak barrels. An incredible value that more than over-delivers, this deeply colored red boasts terrific notes of ripe black fruits, chocolate, smoked herbs, and graphite. With full-boded richness and a sexy, opulent style on the palate, it opens up nicely in the glass and should keep for 2–4 years.RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Dec 2017 One of the new custom cuvées for their U.S. importer Eric Solomon is the 2016 Alcaria, which is about to be launched. It’s a GSM-ish blend of 60% Monastrell with 25% Syrah and the remaining Garnacha Tintorera with a short time in French and American oak barriques. It’s a little reduced right now after bottling (most probably because of the Syrah), so you might need to give it an energetic decanting or some more time in bottle. The meat component in many wines in this region is part of the signature and the rustic elegance of these wines. There is no reduction in the palate, where the tannins are fine-grained and there’s good balance. 120,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2017.SP8989 pts. - Wine Spectator - Dec 31, 2017 Floral and mineral notes frame juicy cherry and red plum flavors in this fresh red.

WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 10/1/2018 This is certainly an intensely structured wine, but its name seems rather excessive for what are balanced fruit and juicy tannins.

WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 4/1/2021 Concentrated and creamy but not overly showy, this wine is balanced, restrained and layered. It meshes an apple-tart flavor with subtle vanilla and nutmeg nuances while underlying acidity achieves excellent balance.VN8989 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2021 The 2019 Chardonnay Vintner’s Reserve is very pretty and floral. Citrus, almond and dried flowers open nicely, followed by tropical notes that grace the finish. In 2019, the Vintner’s Reserve is a bit lighter than it typically is. Even so, it remains one of the greatest — if not the greatest — value in estate wine made in sufficient scale. It can be found pretty much anywhere.JD8888 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 7/22/2021 The larger production 2019 Chardonnay Vintners Reserve is a charmer, with clean citrus and melon fruits as well as a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, juicy, clean, and easy-drinking style on the palate. It’s another solid, well-made wine from this team.
