Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

From the Southern Rhone, Xavier Vignon Cotes du Rhone is a clean, lightweight and organic blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mouvedre. Medium ruby in colour with aromas of currants, plums, red pepper spice and brown leafy forest-floor. Elements of oak are subtle with flavours revealing cherry, raspberry, tomato leaf, spicy cayenne and limestone graphite minerals. Acidity is brisk and well refined with a splash of silky tannins. An outstanding value for this well made red wine. Serve slightly chilled with grilled herbed pork tenderloin. Enjoy!

Jenny Ratcliffe-Wright CWM rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A full and satisfying organic Rhone blend packed with blueberry and spice. Velvety tannins with an excellent length finishing in cinnamon and clove. Lovely typicity of the Southern Rhone offering gluggability. Serve with Chinese spice pork loin rack. @wrightwineblog

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A satisfying, if fairly straightforward, Rhone blend. Fruity, medium plus body, smooth and approachable. Highly quaffable especially at this price. Sip on its own or try it with pizza, lasagna, burgers. Tasted October 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com
