Critics Ratings

'This is tightly coiled, with intense raspberry and cherry reduction notes waiting to unwind, but held in check for now by myriad licorice, iron, rooibos tea and singed alder details. Shows terrific cut and tension through the finish, revealing a blaze of minerality. Just needs some time to harmonize fully. Best from 2020 through 2040.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 96/100 (Nov 2017)

'A blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Quartz is plump and juicy-highly appealing for its bright berries and crisp acids. Yet it's also rich and concentrated, with velvety tannins that linger on the finish.' - Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, 94/100 (Oct 2017)

'Sample a little tired on the nose but it's extremely luscious on the palate. Sweet, salty and strawberry. May be a bit much for some palates but there is no shortage of personality.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17-/20 (Nov 2016)

'Deep ruby. Smoke- and spice-accented aromas of raspberry, boysenberry and cherry pit, backed by a suave floral nuance. Juicy and precise on the palate, offering sharply focused, densely packed red and blue fruit and cola flavors and a hint of succulent herbs. A minerally nuance adds lift and focus to the youthfully tannic, focused finish, which clings with superb intensity.' - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 92-94/100 (Dec 2016)
