"Incorporating a big chunk of Mourvèdre, the 2014 Reserve du Soleil offers lots of gamey, truffle, white pepper and spice in a medium to full-bodied, polished, beautifully elegant style. While the 2014 vintage yields ripe, exuberant wines, this has a pretty, elegant, polished style that makes it already hard to resist. It should drink well for a decade." - Jeb Dunnuck

"This is the winery's first attempt at a reserve-level Rhône-style wine. A blend of Mourvèdre (51%), Cinsault (27%), Grenache (18%) and Counoise, it leads with fragrant aromas of crushed flowers, thyme, smoke, white pepper and boysenberry. The mouthfeel is seamless and the flavors rich, along with exquisite balance and exceptional length." - Sean Sullivan

"Bright red. Musky raspberry, dried flowers and white pepper on the nose, plus a touch of reduction that barely impinges on the wine's perfume. Concentrated, ripe and clean, conveying a totally different flavor and textural profile than the Bésoleil: more pepper, earth and tree bark and sharper definition, but still essentially seamless on the palate. This suave midweight finishes very bright, lively and long, with fine-grained tannins." - Stephen Tanzer
