(which represents by far the majority of their acreage) offers a surprisingly brisk nose and snappy palate impression of sour cherry, cherry pits, wood smoke, and citrus oils. Pithy and clean as a whistle, with a long, lean finish of tart red fruit and fruit pits, pungent smokiness, orange zest and wet stone, this is not a wine for those who want cuddly Pinot with love handles!"

From the very good 2006 vintage and scoring 90/100 Parker points "The 2006 Shiraz/Viognier (6%) is a crowd pleaser. Dark ruby-colored, aromatically the nose receives uplift from the Viognier component. Aromas of smoke, plum and blueberry are enticing and lead to a full-bodied wine with a smooth texture, ripe flavors with depth, and a long finish.

Scoring 90/100 Parker points and from the very good 2007 vintage "Enticing scents of chocolate, espresso, dark fruit, licorice and new leather emerge from the boisterous 2007 Palazzo della Torre. The fruit is sumptuous as always, but in 2007 Palazzo della Torre is not quite as approachable upon release as it usually is. Another year or two in bottle should help smooth some of the slightly rough edges that are present today. There is enough balance and elegance in the finish to suggest this will drink well for a number of years. Palazzo della Torre is made from 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Sangiovese, all traditional Veneto grapes. Approximately 30% of the fruit is air-dried, Amarone-style. The fermenting juice from those grapes is added to the rest of the juice to give the wine an extra dimension of richness and body." Drink now - 2032.

From the outstanding 2007 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker points, 'I’ve always loved the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape from Paul Versino, and it has drunk well since release. Full-bodied, rich and mouth-filling, with some still-present tannin, it has a core of sweet, ripe cherry fruit, licorice, sweaty saddle leather and garrigue. At the end of the day, I think the tannin will win the battle with the fruit, but this beauty has loads of Provencal charm and will continue drinking nicely for 4-5 years, if not longer."

From the outstanding 2007 vintage and scoring 91/100 Parker Points, "The top Cotes du Rhone, the 2007 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Les Champauvins, is a serious effort that could easily be mistaken for a Chateauneuf du Pape.

From the outstanding 2007 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker Points, "As for the equally deep ruby/purple-colored 2007 Seguret Grande Reserve, this wine has much more licorice and more depth and body, but displays a similar aromatic and flavor profile. It is broad, expansive, and voluptuously textured, with stunning depth and richness. This is about as good as Seguret can be and actually competes with wines that are much more costly.

From the outstanding 2009 vintage and scoring 90/100 Parker points,"This is another over-achieving estate that tends to produce wines with lots of intensity and structure. This wine certainly has the formidable intensity one expects from Charmail, but the tannins are silky smooth and the result is the sexiest Charmail to date. An opulent, even voluptuously textured wine, full-bodied and dense purple in color, it is a seductive blend of 47% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered and came in with natural alcohols of 14%. The low acidity, plush fruit and silky tannins all suggest drinking this over the next decade.
