"Bright aromas of green apple and lime lead to vibrant, layered flavors of citrus, anise and creamy vanilla in this sparkler."

"Firm, dense tannins give framework to generous cherry compote, blackberry and cassis notes, with aromatic details of toast, herb and tobacco."

"Light, green-tinged yellow. Exotic, heady aromas of poached pear, white flowers, iodine and clove, with a smoky mineral topnote. Juicy, sharply focused orchard and citrus fruit flavors are complemented by a touch of sweet butter and pick up anise and spice nuances with air. Finishes sappy, stony and very long, with lingering smokiness and florality."

"The 2010 Syrah Les Voisins is a gorgeous, juicy wine bursting with red cherries, plums, white flowers, licorice, herbs and spices. This is a beautiful entry-level wine to drink over the next few years, while the fruit is forward and expressive."

"Crisp but supple, with floral citrus and peach aromas and layered dried cherry, almond and mineral flavors that finish with bold acidity."

"The 2010 Pinot Noir Savoy is another gorgeous, beautifully expressive wine. This is the most layered, complete and nuanced of the 2010 Pinots from Radio-Coteau. There is a silkiness to the tannin that elevates the Savoy. This is all subtlety and class. Freshly cut flowers, rose petals, exotic spices and ripe raspberries wrap around the soft, creamy finish. I can’t wait to taste this once it is in bottle."

"The 2009 Pinot Noir Les Voisins opens with a gorgeous, enticing bouquet redolent of sweet red berries, flowers and spices. It shows lovely fleshiness in a mid-weight, radiant style best suited for drinking over the next few years."

"Crisp but supple, with floral citrus and peach aromas and layered dried cherry, almond and mineral flavors that finish with bold acidity."
