    Critical Acclaim

    WA 98
    Wine Advocate
    The 2020 Côte a Côte is a beautiful blend of 45% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 25% Mourvèdre and one of the most successful wines I tasted from the challenging 2020 vintage. Deep ruby-purple, it offers pure aromas of blackcurrant, boysenberry, tar and pipe tobacco, continually unfolding with each return to the glass. The full-bodied palate offers wave after wave of perfumed fruit and tremendous spicy accents. It's powerful yet harmoniously structured with powdery tannins and seamless acidity, and it offers a very long, detailed finish.

    Decanter
    Floral and lifted on the nose, dark chocolate, violets and rose petals with sweet strawberries and pomegranates. This has a sticky side, balsamic touches but with herbal edges too. Thrilling with a lovely texture, you get the grip and pull from the fine but tense tannins, this has a purity an energy to it with excellent acidity. I like the direction and the push from start to finish. You get the California heat and the stewed strawberry fruit but there is also an elegance and energy to this where it doesn't feel overworked and still has freshness and a juicy appeal. Ageing 14 months in French oak (33% new, 36% one year old, 17% concrete and 15% amphora).

    Blackberries, peppery herbs, graphite, iron, and liquid violet notes all emerge from the 2020 Cote A Cote, a pure, brilliantly textured, full-bodied blend based on 45% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 25% Mourvèdre. It has a touch of grippy tannins on the finish (which are common in the vintage), but it’s balanced and offers beautiful fruit as well as serious length. It's going to keep for 15 years or more. It's a gorgeous wine.

    James Suckling
    I love the depth and the mineral quality of this. Dark cherries, black licorice, iodine, graphite, oyster shells and hot stones. Quite vertical yet broad, with super fine but present tannins. Long, seductive yet quite focused, too. A stunner from L’Aventure.
    VIN 97
    Vinous
    The 2020 Côte a Côte is youthful and coy, displaying a subtle blend of dusty stone, lavender and wild blueberries. It's pure pleasure on the palate, velvety smooth yet full of energy, with crisp red and black fruits that cascade throughout. This finishes spicy, leaving a primary concentration and subtly grippy tannins that frame the experience without slowing its momentum. The 2020 is an understated beauty that will require some cellaring to blossom fully.

    Grenache - Mourvedre - Syrah

    Grenache - Mourvedre - Syrah

    The Grenache - Mourvedre - Syrah grape varietal, commonly referred to as GSM, is a classic and full-bodied blend that finds its origins in the southern Rhône region of France, notably in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This blend comprises three distinct grape varieties, each contributing its unique characteristics to the resulting wine. Grenache and Syrah are well-known players in the Rhône Valley, and in this trio, they are accompanied by the slightly lesser-known Mourvedre. This blend has transcended its French roots and gained popularity in the New World wine regions, particularly in Australia and California, where it has produced highly acclaimed examples. The Mediterranean coast serves as the ancestral home for all three grape varieties. Grenache, with its spice, red fruit, and alcohol,...Please check Grenache - Mourvedre - Syrah for more information
