The 2020 Côte a Côte is youthful and coy, displaying a subtle blend of dusty stone, lavender and wild blueberries. It's pure pleasure on the palate, velvety smooth yet full of energy, with crisp red and black fruits that cascade throughout. This finishes spicy, leaving a primary concentration and subtly grippy tannins that frame the experience without slowing its momentum. The 2020 is an understated beauty that will require some cellaring to blossom fully. (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2023)

I’m not a fan of this varietal blend but I gotta admit this is nice.

My favorite of their current releases. The Grenache fruit shines through, complimented by spices, pepper and hints of earth.

Jammy with dark fruits with smooth tannins. Too easy to drink

Drinking really great right now. Perfect sip for the end of olive harvest.

Flowers, strawberry, dark cherry, plum... Best GSM I've ever had. 97 points from Parker for this vintage - pretty spot on IMO.
