93 Points - Wine Spectator - Modern and stylish, offering an engaging mix of raspberry puree, warm baking spices and red licorice, with vanilla highlights. A beam of iron minerality brings shape and balance to this version, while invigorating acidity and tannins drive the energy. Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah and Cinsault.

92 Points - Jeb Dunnuck - The 2019 Chateauneuf Du Pape comes from La Crau and a few other terroirs and is 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre. Blackberries, black raspberries, peppery herbs, and some solid earthy minerality give way to a medium to full-bodied, ripe, yet also structured 2019. Some 2019's can have a touch of austerity in their tannins, but this is supple and seamless. It will evolve for 10-15 years.
