2020	Domaine Jean Royer	Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Les Sables de la Crau'	Lastly, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Sables De La Crau is all Grenache from pure sand soils that was brought up in demi-muids. It's one of the bigger wines in the lineup, yet still shows an incredible sense of purity and elegance. Ripe raspberries, kirsch liqueur, ground herbs, pepper, dried flowers, and loamy earth all define the nose, and it's full-bodied, with a layered, opulent mouthfeel, silky tannins, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and just screams of Grenache. It will evolve gracefully for 15 years.	Jeb Dunnuck	94		2022-11-14
2020	Domaine Jean Royer	Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Prestige' Rouge	The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Prestige is an 80/20 split of Grenache and Mourvedre. It has a rocking bouquet of ripe black raspberry and cherry liqueur fruit as well as ground pepper, sappy flowers, sandalwood, and loamy earth. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, and textured, with beautiful overall balance, it's another finesse-driven beauty from this estate that's going to put a smile on your face any time over the coming 10-12 years or more. #54 of Jeb Dunnuck’s Top 100 Wines of 2022!

2021	Alfredo Roca	Pinot Noir 'Fincas' San Rafael	The 2021 Pinot Noir Fincas is cherry red in the glass. On the nose, sweet and sour cherry, hints of earth and subtle mushroom notes appear. Quite smooth in texture and fairly ripe with a little grip, this a voluminous wine for the variety. The 13.2% alcohol is unusual in the region.	Vinous	90		2022-11-07
