Tournon by M. Chapoutier - Winston - Salem Journal	Mathilda Rosé	2018		Jul-2019
Review “Cherry aroma, and a bit earthy/peppery, minerals. Medium acidity. A Michel Chapoutier estate. Good.”
Tournon by M. Chapoutier - Jamessuckling.com			93	Jul-2019
Review “Bright and focused shiraz with berry, asphalt and basil-leaf aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Firm and polished tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows tightness and focus. Soft texture.”
Tournon by M. Chapoutier - Jamessuckling.com	Mathilda Rosé	2017	88	Jul-2019
Review “Attractively complex and layered aromas of peaches and lemons with grassy nuances, leading to a palate that has savory, grain-like flavors.”
Tournon by M. Chapoutier - Jamessuckling.com			92	Jul-2019
Review “This is fresh and complex with crushed berries and clean notes of flowers and slate on the nose and palate. Full-bodied yet tight and very balanced with firm tannins and a linear and long finish. Shows drive and energy at the end. Holding on nicely.”
Campbells - Town & Country	Rutherglen Muscat	N/V		Apr-2019
Review “With a deeper, more tannic note than most other moscato wines, and an intense sweetness (the Rutherglen style is one of the sweetest moscato styles) this award-winning Australian bottle offers long-finishing notes of dried fruit, caramelized sugar, and hints of wood and spice that make it just right as a dessert pairing (or substitute).”
Tournon by M. Chapoutier - Santé	Mathilda Rosé	2018		Apr-2019
Review “Grenache is one of the best rosé grapes, and here Chapoutier uses his Rhone hand for a wine with light body but robust, meaty flavors and a peu of petillance.”
Tournon by M. Chapoutier - Austin Chronicle	Mathilda Rosé	2018		Apr-2019
Review “The next wine is from Michel Chapoutier, one of the Rhône’s great winemakers. A decade ago, he decided to purchase some land in Australia, and the resulting wine shows it was a very good idea. The winery is called Tournon by M. Chapoutier and the wine is named Mathilda Rosé Victoria ($18). It is named for his daughter, who must be quite a lovely and accomplished person – which is also how to describe this wine. It is made from 100% Grenache and smells like raspberries and roses.”
Tournon by M. Chapoutier - Paste	Mathilda Rosé	2018		Apr-2019
Review “Michel Chapoutier down under? Yes please. Yummy varietal Grenache from Victoria made in a style that recalls Provence. It has a candied quality (as distinct from sweetness; this stuff is bone dry) with aromatics that recall sugared flowers (rose and violet for me). On the palate, there is a kind of dry red fruit thing, something slightly tannic or tart-rhubarb? Cranberry? Crabapple? Maybe pomegranate. And definitely a wild raspberry note. This is a versatile food wine but also a more than pleasant aperitif.”
Campbells - Wine Advocate	Rutherglen Topaque	N/V	90	Jan-2019
Review “This recent sample was still labeled Tokay, although I thought that terminology was being phased out. Campbells NV Rutherglen Tokay, which is produced using a modified solera system, boasts seductive aromas of dried figs, candied citrus and maple syrup. It's not that full-bodied or rich for a fortified, making it reasonably easy to drink a glass with cheese or dessert.”
Campbells - Wine Advocate			90	Jan-2019
Review “Aerate the 2015 Limited Release Rutherglen Durif vigorously to allow it to emerge from an earthy funk. Once you do, you'll be rewarded with hints of violets, blueberries and cedar. It's medium to full-bodied, with an open-knit, velvety texture and a crisp finish. For folks who might not know, Durif is the (original) French name for the grape variety most Americans know as Petite Sirah.”
