2017	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	Voluminous and sun-drenched, this delightful varietal Marsanne offers luminous tangerine, yellow apple and pineapple flavors accented by swirls of honey. Sourced from 80-year-old vines and fermented in oak (30% new), it’s a gorgeously perfumed sip lifted by a spine of salty, crystalline minerality and lemony acidity. Drinks beautifully now but should mature nicely well through 2030. Editors’ Choice	Wine Enthusiast	94		2021-01-20
2018	Keenan	Merlot Napa Valley	The 2018 Merlot is bright, fresh and floral, all of which make it extremely appealing to drink now. Readers will find a mid-weight, refined Merlot full of charm. Crushed red berry fruit, spice and floral notes linger nicely.	Vinous	91		2021-01-14
2018	Keenan	Merlot 'Mailbox Vineyard Reserve' Spring Mountain District	Keenan's 2018 Merlot Reserve Mailbox Vineyard is another attractive wine in the range. It offers darker tonalities of fruit to match its mid-weight personality. A touch of oak sweetness is well-judged in this very appealing, supple Merlot from Keenan. Hints of lavender, mocha and spice add raciness throughout.	Vinous	93		2021-01-14
2018	Keenan	Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley	Bold and juicy, Keenan's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is super-expressive today. Dark cherry, plum, grilled herbs, mocha, spice and licorice are all front and center. The 2018 is deep and fleshy yet retains a classic, mid-weight feel that works so well. Drink it over the next decade.	Vinous	93		2021-01-14
2018	Keenan	Cabernet Sauvignon 'Reserve' Spring Mountain District	The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is such a great example of Spring Mountain. Powerful and virile, the classically-built Reserve packs a serious punch. I would give it a few years to soften, but it is super-impressive, even in the early going. Crushed red berry fruit, iron, dried flowers, mint and spice lead into the long, sculpted finish.	Vinous	96		2021-01-14
2018	Keenan	Cabernet Franc Spring Mountain District	The 2018 Cabernet Franc Upper Bowl Vineyard is effusive and soaring in the glass. Crushed red berry, mocha, wild herbs, cinnamon and blood orange lend an exotic air to the 2018 that is impossible to miss. The same can be said for the way the 2018 delivers so much fruit intensity without heaviness. It is such a gorgeous wine.	Vinous	95		2021-01-14
2017	Domaine Pierre Sourdais	Chinon 'Tradition'	Beautiful black cherry stone and cherry skin fruit, pure and defined. A brilliant entry-level Chinon, showing just a lick of tannin alongside stunning fruit purity and a hint of herby texture.	Decanter	91		2021-01-11
2018	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	Dark and winey, with lots of steeped black cherry, plum and blackberry fruit forming the core while light sweet tapenade, rosemary and mineral notes streak through on the finish. Vivid, energetic Cornas. Best from 2022 through 2036.	Wine Spectator	94		2021-01-06
2018	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Chailles	Very racy, focused version with a bright violet note leading the way for damson plum and red cherry coulis notes. Light white pepper and chalk hints emerge on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2033.	Wine Spectator	93		2021-01-06
2015	Mas d'En Gil	Coma Vella'	The red blend 2015 Coma Vella is a blend of 70% Garnacha Peluda and Garnacha del País, 20% Cariñena and 10% Syrah from vines planted between 1965 and 1998 on classical sloped llicorella slate soils except the Syrah, which is on limestone soils. They used 10% to 20% full clusters for the fermentation in stainless steel and oak vats with indigenous yeasts. It matured for one year in a combination of 225-liter barrels and 1,500- and 3,000-liter oak vats with only 15% to 20% new oak. The wine shows contained ripeness, showcasing the style of the south of Priorat, and it's spicy and a little earthy. It has a medium to full-bodied palate and some dusty tannins without the finesse of the newest reds. 35,658 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2016.	Wine Advocate	93		2021-01-04
