VM 93-95 (1/2006): Dark ruby-red. Almost overwhelming bouquet of blueberry and raspberry preserves and bright floral nuances. Massive in texture and weight, with sweet, dense berry flavors building and expanding. Finishes with remarkable sweetness, as well as admirable definition to the outsized flavors. The tannins are completely absorbed by the sheer volume of fruit here. Josh Raynolds.
WA 87-90 (2/2007): The estate’s top cuvee, the 2004 Gigondas La Font de Tonin (a blend of 75% Grenache and 25% Mourvedre aged in a combination of used and new French barrels), reveals powerful notes of crushed rocks, raspberries, blueberries, and hints of talcum powder and flowers. Medium-bodied with excellent acidity as well as moderate tannin, it may turn out to be outstanding if everything comes together prior to bottling. |

| VM 88 (1/2007): Dark ruby. Mineral-accented red and dark fruit aromas, with a note of anise. Focused raspberry and cherry flavors are suavely framed by dusty tannins. Finishes with good lift and a late hint of lavender. Josh Raynolds. |

VM 88 (1/2007): Medium red. Fresh red berry scents, with a hint of orange peel. Crisp, lively and pure, with bright raspberry and strawberry flavors carrying through a long, tangy finish. Josh Raynolds.
WA 87 (2/2007): This domaine also produces superb Cotes du Rhones under the consultation of famed oenologist Philippe Cambie. These are all Provencal-styled wines with the Bouquet des Garrigues the lightest of them, with plenty of earth, pepper, Provencal herbs and sweet kirsch. The 2005 just slightly richer and fuller than the 2004. This wine is usually dominated by its Grenache component which consists of about 90-95%. From the Quartz soils that also produce the cuvee of Chateauneuf du Pape, Domaine du Caillou makes a Cotes du Rhone-Villages which is a blend of Grenache and Syrah. This is a more modern-styled wine with deeper ruby/purple color, fuller body, more crushed rock and mineral notes (as one might suspect from the name), and more tannin in an elegant style. |
