Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
An unoaked blend of 75% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 5% Carignan, the 2019 Languedoc Les Darons is led by ample cherry fruit, with just hints of garrigue and peppery spice. Medium to full-bodied, it's a bit open-knit in texture but offers plenty of flavor and length. Enjoy it over the next few years. Best After 2021

Jeb Dunnuck
A blend of Grenache and Syrah sourced from multiple appellations, the 2019 Languedoc Les Darons is a perennial winner that always seems to over-deliver at the price. Revealing a ruby/purple hue as well as a great nose of sweet red and black fruits, spice, and savory garrigue, it's medium-bodied, has a supple, elegant mouthfeel, pretty tannins, and a great finish.
