"The American importer produces a slightly different blend called Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Girard, and the 2009 and 2010 are essentially identical in quality. The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Girard reveals slightly more meatiness and garrigue notes than the 2009, but the two wines are similar in every other aspect. Full-bodied, rich and pure, it, like the 2009, will evolve over the next 10-15 years." -Robert Parker

"Black currant, spring flower, licorice and crushed rock aromas jump from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied, beautifully pure, textured and dense Lirac. It should drink well for at least a decade."-Robert Parker

"Rich, velvety spices and fruit on the nose. Forceful and full mouth but with a crisp freshness. Pair with roasted game or spicy Indian or Thai dishes."

"The 2011 Lo Nuevo Vilata is fragrant with earth, mineral, and floral notes, and a touch of sweet concentrated balsamic and spice in the nose. Rich layers of dark fruits, brier and blueberry are displayed on the palate with savory, layered smooth tannins."

"Blended of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro, the 2008 The Steading gives a deep garnet color and aromas of warm mulberries and dried plums with an undercurrent of spice box, sandalwood and kirsch. Very full and generous in the mouth with a good amount of enlivening acidity, it is displaying mature, dried berry and spice flavors textured with a medium level of velvety tannins and finishing long. Drinking now, it should remain good to 2016+."
