Critics Ratings

'Once again, an inky/purple color as well as notes of graphite, licorice, white chocolate, espresso, creme de cassis and blackberries soar from the glass of the 2010 Crozes-Hermitage Cuvee Gaby. Tightly-knit but loaded with potential as well as promise, it should be forgotten for several years and consumed over the following 15+.' - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Dec 2012)

'Opaque purple. A perfumed, expressive bouquet evokes candied dark berries, Indian spices and violet. Sappy, penetrating black raspberry and boysenberry flavors are lifted by juicy acidity and show very good depth. Dusty tannins come on late and add grip to a long, spicy finish. Shows the structure of the vintage but there's plenty of intense fruit here that should easily outlast the tannins.' - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 91/100 (Mar 2013)
