"This perfectly harmonious version's lovely, seamless mix of buttery pastry, brown sugar and grilled pineapple flavors mingles with notes of quince, peach preserves and candied orange peel. Elegant acidity weaves in and out, giving the flavors focus and momentum on the long, lingering finish."

"This white starts out round and fleshy, sporting lime blossom, citronella and mineral flavors. The finish is more precise, with a succulent feel and fine length."

"Focused by vivid acidity, this white delivers lemon, yuzu and oak spice flavors before tipping to the tart side in the end, offering a tactile sensation on the subtle yet lingering finish."

"Flavors of lime and white flowers signal this elegant white, which is driven by vivid acidity. The citrus theme continues through the long aftertaste, enhanced by floral and vanilla accents."

"A sleek, linear white, this reveals vanilla, lemon, apple and salty mineral flavors. Persistent and balanced, leaving a chalky feel on the long finish."

"A ripe style, offering peach and melon flavors, with a hint of vanilla. An underlying mineral component lingers on the firm, dry finish."

"Round and creamy in texture, this white displays peach, pear, yellow plum and melon flavors before tightening up on the finish, where citrus and chalk accents chime in."

"Offers a juicy blast of red berry and orange peel acidity, showing good concentration and a hint of lavender. Glossy and open in feel, this is shored up with flint and salty mineral notes. Mouthwatering through the tangy, silky and persistent finish."

"Deep, glistening amber-pink in the glass, the 2023 Rosé Les Commandeurs is expressive and especially pretty, with an engaging bouquet of ripe pear, honeysuckle, baked apple and sweet spices. Well-proportioned, it strikes a fine balance of suppleness, juiciness and grip, propped up against a backdrop of typical Provençal salinity. All this is missing is some depth through the mid-palate—it's just a little ethereal. A pleasant vanilla nuance shows up right at the tail end, rendering this a little creamier than expected. Lovely. This is a fine effort."

"The 2023 Rosé Le Clos Peyrassol is gorgeously floral—a wine built much more on aromatic expression and complexity than concentration of flavors. The bouquet evokes a walk through a rose garden in the throes of spring, punctuated by the occasional pop of fresh, just-ripe apricot, pineapple and deep overtones of stemmy herbs and sweet baking spices. Focused, pure and delicate, this is a supremely elegant edition of Le Clos, if a bit introspective. There's a discernible blossom honey note on the close that I find so engaging, wrapping things up with just a touch of inner sweetness."

"Pouring a light orange-yellow in the glass, the 2023 Rosé Chateau Peyrassol is zippy, bright and extremely floral, sprinting out of the gate with well-formed notes of tangerine, ripe cherry, strawberry and freshly cut roses. In fact, you could convince me that there's actual rosewater in the bottle (I jest, of course). Deeply mineral and notably broad, it manages to remain light on its feet, balancing its citrusy zing with a hint of waxiness on the finish and repeating that floral note into the sunset."

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Kanzler Vineyard is a classic Russian River Pinot. Succulent dark cherry, plum, licorice, clove, menthol and leather all build in the glass, filling out the layers effortlessly. Silky tannins wrap it all together in style."

"The 2021 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard is a very pretty, understated wine. Crushed rocks, flowers, mint and white pepper give the Ritchie gorgeous aromatic presence. This is the most ethereal, delicate Chardonnay in the range. I would prefer to see a bit more flesh in the mid-palate."

"Deep, glistening amber-pink in the glass, the 2023 Rosé Les Commandeurs is expressive and especially pretty, with an engaging bouquet of ripe pear, honeysuckle, baked apple and sweet spices. Well-proportioned, it strikes a fine balance of suppleness, juiciness and grip, propped up against a backdrop of typical Provençal salinity. All this is missing is some depth through the mid-palate—it's just a little ethereal. A pleasant vanilla nuance shows up right at the tail end, rendering this a little creamier than expected. Lovely. This is a fine effort."

"The 2021 Pinot Noir U.V. - Lucky Well Vineyard is a rich, effusive wine. Lavender, mint, spice and cool, blue-toned fruits open with a bit of coaxing. Bright acids lend freshness and verve throughout, finishing with a note of sweet oak."

"The 2021 Chardonnay Banfield Vineyard is a classy, elegant wine. Floral aromatics meld into a core of silky fruit in a Chardonnay that is all finesse. Time in the glass brings out hints of lemon confit, white flowers, slate and white pepper, but it is the wine's sensual texture that is most alluring. This is a sublime Chardonnay from Arista."

"The 2021 Chardonnay U.V. - El Diablo Vineyard is one of the more potent Chardonnays in the range, although like all the wines here, it is a bit less overt than in the past. Lemon confit, marzipan, tangerine oil, coconut and a kiss of French oak build in the glass. The El Diablo is a Chardonnay of weight and textural richness."

"Packed with blue/black fruit, chocolate, spice and licorice. There's gorgeous depth, texture and complexity here. Readers will find plenty to like in this exuberant, dense Cabernet Sauvignon."

"A burst of white smoke gives way to chamomile and peach skins as the nuanced 2023 Rosé Le Petit Renard evolves in the glass. This is generous and ripe in style yet beautifully balanced, with a core of juicy acidity that energizes notes of tart green melon and lime. The 2023 cleans up beautifully, zesty and fresh, leaving hints of candied citrus that play a sweet-and-sour act through the finish. This lovely Grenache Rosé is a pleasure to taste."

“Beaurenard's 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is a finely balanced, plump beauty, with hints of crushed stone, melon rind and lime on the nose, a softly creamy mid-palate and lingering finish.”
