93 Points - Wine Spectator
“Tannic, but fresh and driven, with a sappy kirsch and plum core laced with singed bay leaf, tobacco and tapenade notes. The long, structured finish has excellent flesh for the vintage.” (JM) Review Date: 10/2011

“A beautiful Syrah, especially in the vintage, the 2008 Cornas Reynard has a gorgeous perfume of bacon fat, wild herbs, saddle leather, and crushed flowers that’s supported by a vibrant core of black and red berry-styled fruits. Medium-bodied, seamless, and pure, with impeccable balance, integrated acidity, and a classy finish, this opened up over the evening and is already approachable and complex.” (JD) Review Date: 12/2013
