“Ripe and savory aromas are in perfect harmony, with notes of dried plum, Cassis and preserved raspberry, elevated by leather, cedar, tobacco, a hint of meat and wet clay.”-“for those of you who are accustomed to paying three figures for a fine Bordeaux, this wine will charm you for under $40 a bottle“- Ian Cauble Master Sommelier — 2 years ago

“Structurally, it is wonderfully firm and focused, with polished tannins that frame the ripe, dark-hued fruit” - Ian Cauble, SommSelect — 5 years ago

The quality for price is outstanding. In 1936 “Caillou’s owner had no desire to join the governing ranks of anything, let alone a wine appellation. This brazen act excluded the estate from the AOC and essentially carved out a chunk of Châteauneuf-du-Pape‘s border. Today it continues to be an ‘unclassified’ section in what is otherwise some of the most prized vineyard land in the area“-Ian Cauble, master sommelier — 4 years ago

Serve between 50-55 degrees. Terrific value. Paid $28. “Loads of ripe citrus, soaring white and yellow florality, with creamy hazelnut, yeast ones, and blanched almonds” - Ian Cauble — 5 years ago

Terrific 2015 at less than $60. Wow, “There is also a deep mineral component here-notes of crushed gravel and potting soil-that offers a counterpoint to the abundant fruit.” - Ian Cauble, Master Sommelier SommSelect — 4 years ago

Outstanding. “When I say this is a more “classic” expression, it’s because the resulting wine is bold but fine, structured more on the scale of a Barbaresco or Chambolle-Musigny. In other words-true old school Chateauneuf.” - Ian Cauble, SommSelect — 4 years ago
