2021 Two Hands Shiraz 'Gnarly Dudes' Barossa Valley There are black pepper, cherry and chocolate vibes to start here. They lead to a palate that’s big but surprisingly fresh thanks to a lift of tangy acidity, which brightens fruit and softens tannins. It’s no wallflower, but its power is reined in, allowing the fruit and site character to shine. Drink now and over the next seven to eight years. Wine Enthusiast 92 2023-11-14
2021 Domaine Jean Royer Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Tradition' A solid classic cuvée that's going to shine on the dinner table over the coming 8-10 years, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape (85% Grenache noir and the rest Mourvèdre and Cinsault) has pretty cherry and darker berry fruits as well as some Burgundian-like forest floor, peppery herbs, and spicy nuances. It's balanced and has fine tannins as well as outstanding length. Jeb Dunnuck 90 2023-11-14
2021 Domaine Jean Royer Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Les Sables de la Crau' All Grenache from pure sand soils, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Sables De La Crau is a hidden gem in the vintage that has plenty of pretty kirsch, dried flower, and loamy soil-like notes in a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, elegant, yet still textured style. This balanced, delicious beauty will evolve nicely over the coming 10-12 years or so. Jeb Dunnuck 93 2023-11-14
