Mas de Daumas has built a super strong reputation in the south of France for making one of the absolute best examples of Rosé each vintage. But in my mind, that’s both a blessing and a curse because the rest of their wines deserve the same kind of attention, though they fly a bit under the radar because they’re not pretty in pink.
The Guilhem Rouge is comprised of the traditional varietals in the region: a racy mix of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan. It’s one of those wines that hits way above its weight class and shines next to food. James Suckling found this little Southern French red already, giving it a 91-point score- a fabulous and deserving score for a wine that’s priced to be scooped up by the case.

91 Points, James Suckling
A fruity nose of cassis, cherries, crushed strawberries, dried herbs and spice-box. Some olive and salty undertones. Medium body with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Bright and juicy with a supple, savory finish. Syrah, grenache and carignan. Drink or hold.
100 Points, Decanter
“Finely textured, with a nuanced perfume that fills the glass and takes you to the intense underbrush of Tuscany. Succulent and yet savory, this has a lilting freshness that is overlaid with ripe berry fruits, sage and white pepper spice, and clear minerality in terms of its scraping texture that makes your mouth water on the finish. Feels light and sculpted and yet has an intensity that skewers you to the spot. This is a great wine, with scope and imagination that doesn’t want to let you go. Genuinely stands out among the wines of this tasting, and these are a fine array of wines. As with Colore, Bibi Graetz selects only old vines, the youngest 50 years old from five different vineyard sites across Tuscany, all farmed organically.”

“The 2016 Poggio al Granchio Brunello di Montalcino is aromatically expressive of perfectly ripe cherry, sweet herbs, dried flowers, and stony earth. There is generous purity of fruit on the palate, with mineral-rich earth, and it had the most balanced and harmonious structure in the lineup on this tasting, with present but fine-grained tannin. I love this wine for its darker mineral edge in counterpoint with crunchy and ripe fruit. It is a super-pleasurable wine right out of the gate and will continue to be so over the next 20 or more years”
95 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 94 Points,Wine Spectator
Robert Parker, Jr. gave it 95 points and called it “one of the finest Warre’s I’ve ever tasted” and “a profound example of Warre vintage port.” Additionally, “Tasters should take note of the wealth of peppery, licorice-scented and flavored raspberry and blackcurrant fruit. Look for it to be ready to drink in 10-12 years, and keep for 30+.”
97 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain was aged for 22 months in oak barrels, 84% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it explodes from the glass with bombastic black currants, black cherries and boysenberries notes plus underlying hints of violets, dark chocolate and tobacco leaf. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and fragrant.”
