91-94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "I loved the 2016 Cairanne Maximilien and it offers terrific notes of plums, scorched earth, pepper and distinct minerality in a full-bodied, opulent, unctuous package. Made from 50% Grenache, 35% Mourvèdre and 15% Syrah, drink this smoking good red over the coming 6-7 years. (10/19/17)"

90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Smoky mineral tones and whiffs of moss lend complexity to luscious black cherry in this easy-drinking yet nuanced red. Silky and soft on the palate with gentle acidity, it finishes on firm, persistent tannins. Enjoy this approachable but structured wine now through 2024. Alcohol 14.5%. (Mar 2019)"
Producer notes: "Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Carignan. Steady color with tints of purple, an intense nose with ripe red fuit notes including berries, raspberries wild strawberries and a hint of pepper. A soft attack, good strength, mellow tannins which allow fruity and spicy notes to develop. Long and fleshy on the palate. Best with game and grilled red meats."
