"Light, bright and appealing for its refreshing balance and fresh plavors that float nicely through the finish. Grenache, Cinsault and Mataro. Drink now. 900 cases made." 88/100 Wine Spectator

"Light, hazy red. Strikingly complex nose offers fresh red berries, anise, smoked meat and flowers. Tangy, finely etched red and dark berry flavors display intensity without any excess weight, with very fine tannins lending gentle grip. Clean, energetic and admirably pure wine that finishes with excellent tangy lift and cut. This is already complex enough to drink." 91/100, Stephen Tanzer

"The 2007 Papillon is a blend of 66% Grenache, 18% Cinsault, and 16% Mataro. It exhibits an enticing nose of garrigue, mineral, lavender, and kirsch. Spicy and Chateauneuf-du-Pape-like on the palate, it is an elegantly-styled, ripe wine for drinking over the next six years." 91/100, Robert Parker
