92 pts, “Year’s Best Southern Rhone” – Wine & Spirits, 10/18 (2015 ).

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

“The 2015 Côtes du Rhône Cuvée Maclura is 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault, and it was brought up all in stainless steel. It’s a charming, savory beauty that has solid Provençal charm as well as plenty of sweet cherry fruits, peppery herbs and spice in a medium-bodied style. Drink it over the coming 3-5 years. (JD) “(10/2016)

Wine Spectator
“Solid, with a mouth filling core of warm plum and raspberry coulis flavors, flanked by a lightly toasted alder frame. Reveals a whiff of black tea through the finish.”
