2019 Luke Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Wine Enthusiast, March 2022
“Editor's Choice. Mostly old block Weinbau Vineyard fruit, this is immediately identifiable as Cabernet Sauvignon, with aromas of black currant, pink peppercorn and herb, with spice notes in the background. On the palate it's a big, bold wine, with a punch of dark fruit. The tannins give a light squeeze.”

2019 Luke Columbia Valley Merlot
Wine Enthusiast, March 2023
“Editor's Choice. Weinbau fruit makes up the backbone of this wine. The aromas pull you into the glass, with notes of blue plum, raspberry, vanilla, graphite and coffee. The palate is full feeling, with lush fruit flavors and sneaky structure behind them. There's a pleasing lick of acidity that ups the interest. It's a big mouthful of a wine that overdelivers. Decant to see it at its best”

2019 Luke Columbia Valley Syrah Reserve
Wine Enthusiast, March 2022
“All the fruit for this wine comes from Lawrence Vineyard on the Royal Slope. The aromas are expressive, with notes of dried flower, herb, medicine, berry and smoked meat. The palate brings sleek Asian plum sauce and pomegranate flavors. There's a grip of structure behind it all. It's fascinating.”

2019 Luke Columbia Valley "The Companion" Red Blend
Wine Enthusiast, March 2022
“Editor's Choice. This is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 17% Syrah aged in a mix of French and American oak (about 10% new). With fruit coming from across the Wahluke Slope, aromas of violet, green herb, coffee, rose, raspberry and black cherry are followed by plump flower and plum flavors that show a lot of layering. There's plenty of juicy structure behind it all.”

2018 Oberon Merlot, Napa Valley
Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, December 2020
“With the addition of nearly 11% Syrah and just under 2% Zinfandel, this is a hearty red with both fruit and spice on the nose. Supple, velvety texture is highlighted in bold flavors of cassis, raspberry and plum, finishing with ease.”

2019 Oberon Merlot, Napa Valley
Meredith May, Tasting Panel, February 2022
“PUBLISHER'S PICKS SECTION. Intense pomegranate and cherry pipe tobacco is compelling on nose and palate. Easy drinking with smooth tannins. Tart strawberry and red plum lend more fruit-filled notes followed by heather and white pepper.”

Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs
Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck, November 2022
“The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs is refreshing with pure green apple, candied lime, and white flowers. It has a delicate mousse, with fresh lemon, ripe pear, and wet stone. Classic and refreshing, with a chalky feel on the finish, it is straightforward and elegant in its style. Drink 2022-2030.”

Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs
Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, December 2022
“Delivers toasty hints of brioche and grilled nuts on the nose, which are rich accents to poached pear, dried white cherry, preserved lemon and candied ginger flavors that are finely meshed and carried on the satiny mousse. Disgorged 2022. Drink now. 235 cases imported.”

2006 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires
James Suckling, November 2021
“Rippling with ripe stone-fruit and citrus aromas, plus notes of buttered toast and chalk, this is both powerful and mouthwatering, with enough structure to carry its imposing stature. The lemony finish is at once creamy and saline. A Blanc de Blancs from 5 top Crus in the Côte des Blancs. Drink now.”

Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve
James Suckling, James Suckling, November 2021
“Remarkable depth of mature aromas - tons of candied lemon peel, dried pear and brioche - plus wonderful textural richness on the palate make this stand out amongst the regular Brut NVs. Then comes the intense and very long, mineral finish to crown this prince of the category. Based on 2016 base wines, but with 52% reserve wines, almost a third of which were 10 to 20 years of age. Drink or hold.”

2005 Charles Heidsieck Millésimé Vintage Rosé
James Suckling, James Suckling, November 2021
“Striking nose of candied orange, dipped in bitter chocolate and tobacco leaf. Powerful and mouth-filling, with impressive textural richness. Now at its best, the dry finish fully mature, but complex and spicy. The color comes from about 7% pinot noir red wine, partly from the little known Les Riceys in the far south of Champagne. Drink now.”

2008 Charles Heidsieck Millésimé Vintage Rosé
James Suckling, James Suckling, November 2021
“An amazing 2008 rosé Champagne that has all the structure and aromatic complexity - sushi ginger, oolong tea and caramelized mandarin orange - we associate with this vintage, but also has more charm than most. On the palate, this has stunning concentration, yet is diamond bright. The interplay of creaminess, fine tannins and mineral acidity builds and builds at the breathtaking finish. The color comes from about 7% pinot noir red wine, partly from the little-known Les Riceys in the far south of Champagne. Drink or hold.”

Charles Heidsieck Rosé Réserve
James Suckling, James Suckling, November 2021
“A slew of red-berry, candied-orange and leaf-tea aromas welcomes you to this well-structured rosé Champagne. Bright acidity that’s quite pronounced at the slightly vegetal finish, but this also provides some tension. Based on 2014 base wines with 25% reserve wines, mostly of 3-8 years of age, the color coming from 5% pinot noir red wine from Les Riceys. Disgorged in 2021. Drink or hold.”

2012 Charles Heidsieck Millésimé Vintage Brut
James Suckling, James Suckling, November 2021
“Very lemony (blossoms, zest and candied peel), with some red-berry and fresh tobacco-leaf notes. Impressive richness and concentration, the creaminess from lees beautifully matched by the fine mousse and mineral freshness. The latter also powers the structured and saline finish that makes a serious statement. A blend of 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay, disgorged in 2020. Drink or hold.”
