Excellent value. Smooth lush dark fruit, tobacco and leather flavors. 65% merlot, 20% Cabernet franc, and 15% Cabernet sauvignon. — 2 years ago

Among my favorite Renaissance wines, surpassed perhaps only by the 2001. Still loads of sweet piquant red and black cherries, currants, stewed plums, dried meat, mesquite wood, chocolate, wet earth, graphite and iron. Tannins have dropped out (as evidenced by the loads of sediment) leaving a velvety smooth texture. Not falling off a cliff but should be enjoyed soon — a month ago

The 2020 Cornas Renaissance is delicious. It bursts with crushed violet, cured meat, menthol and black fruit aromatics. Peppery layers add more complexity. Offering increased concentration and an even riper profile than the 2022, I have no doubt that the powerful and neatly balanced 2020 Renaissance will be a long-distance runner. Medium- to full-bodied, it concludes with persistence on the complex finish. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, March 2024)

Really nice wine with great balance. Flint, dark fruits, some cocoa, but drinks lighter than I was expecting. Lovely. — 9 months ago

Pale salmon in color; citrus peel, and jasmine on the nose; medium acidity; tastes like strawberries, watermelon, and a little cherry with a long finish. I think there's some residual sugar. Easy drinking. I like it and Nellie does too. — 2 months ago

Cherry, plum, soil tones, leather. Gotta remember to pop these every so often because I bought so damn much of this wine and, as long-lived as these bottles are, they won’t last forever. Reliably delicious — 5 months ago
