"The 2022 Côtes du Rhône is based on 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, and the rest Mourvèdre and Carignan. It has a juicy, medium-bodied profile offering classic leather and peppery garrigue notes, ample ripe black cherry fruits, plenty of tannins, and outstanding length. It's going to put a smile on your face any time over the coming 4-6 years."

"Dark ruby. Spicy, dark berries show on the nose with hints of black cherry and herbs. Soft on the attack and traditionally styled with a light-medium weight plate. Lovely, complex fruit and savory flavors, finishing dry with lingering rich extract. A blend of 50% Grenache, 305 Syrah, 10% Cinsault, and 10% Carignan matured in 90% concrete tanks and 10% oak barrels. - Don WINKLER"

"Deep hazy ruby, this medium-bodied blend exudes a fresh core of blackberries, cranberries, tart cranberries, thyme and violets. Its balance between refreshing acidity and fine tannins make it so easy to drink. Enjoy now."

"A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, and 10% Carignan grown on 30 year old vines and aged in 90% concrete tanks and 10% in oak barrels. Scented with bright raspberry, the palate has spiced and savory notes, leading with rhubarb and white pepper. Powdered rose petal tannins are firm and lead to a beefier middle. This wine is delightful: juicy and bright."

"An impressive effort I’d be happy to drink, the 2018 Côtes du Rhône gives up ample darker berry fruits as well as notes of peppery herbs and a touch of minerality, medium-bodied richness, a fleshy, expansive mouthfeel, and a great finish. It would be a great house red and should keep nicely for 3-5 years."

"Bold black-cherry and plum flavors are accented by delicate veins of vanilla and smoked nut in this voluptuously textured red. It's a delightfully fruity, concentrated wine that appeals young for its bold fruit and fine tannins. ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"

"The 2016 Côtes du Rhône is a stunner, checking in as 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 10% each of Cinsault and Carignan brought up mostly in tank, with just 10% seeing time in barrel. Rocking levels of black cherries, blackberries, licorice, new leather, and earth all emerge from the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied, fruit-loaded, and downright irresistible. If you need a house red for drinking over the coming 3-4 years, this is a sure thing."

"The 2016 Cotes du Rhone is another great value. A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% each Carignan and Cinsault aged solely in concrete, this medium-bodied wine is simply a joy to drink. Black cherries, dried spices and Provençal herbs finish with a silky touch. It should drink well for 3-4 years. - Joe Czerwinski"

"While the nose of this full-bodied red is restrained, the palate is opulent with ripe black cherry and plum flavors. It's plush yet balanced with delicate hints of hazelnut and spice, as well as lively acidity. The finish is long, dominated by ripe but densely structured tannins. Accessible already, it could hold through 2022."

"A juicy, lively, peppery, iron, herbal and black fruited wine is the 2015 Cotes du Rhone from Chateau de Segries. Its deep ruby/black color is followed by a medium to full-bodied, concentrated Cotes du Rhone that has solid concentration, ripe, firm tannin, good acidity and a clean finish. Drink this classically styled, almost austere 2015 over the coming 4-5 years. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"Lurid ruby-red. Fresh red berries and candied flowers on the lively, focused nose. Juicy and sharply focused, offering energetic raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that flesh out and pick up a spicy quality with aeration. Shows an appealingly sweet raspberry quality on the finish, which is given shape by smooth tannins. - Josh Raynolds"

"A peppery, juicy, medium-bodied effort, the 2013 Cotes du Rhone (made from declassified Lirac grapes and a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% each of Cinsault and Carignan) has plenty of black cherry and assorted berry fruit, hints of bacon fat and underbrush. It's a clean, classy quaffer to enjoy over the coming couple of years. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"Full-bodied but approachable, this wine shows a slightly horsey edge on the nose, and pleasingly suede-like flavors and textures underlying the raspberry fruit. It’s a complex mélange that should likely be consumed over the next couple of years. — J.C."

"The 2012 Cotes du Rhone is composed of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Carignan and 10% Cinsault. It is a fruity, pedal-to-the-metal, peppery, black currant and black cherry-scented and flavored, medium-bodied Cotes du Rhone displaying hints of lavender and garrigue. Enjoy it over the next 2-3 years. "

"The 2011 Cotes du Rhone rouge displays a forward, dense ruby/plum color and loads of raspberry, pepper and black cherry notes with hints of tobacco leaf and roasted Provencal herbs. A classic Cotes du Rhone made in a bistro style from a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and the rest equal parts Cinsault and Carignan, this medium-bodied wine should be drunk over the next 2-3 years."
