  Wine Spectator
  "A lively mix of loganberry and plum fruit forms the core, with enticing anise, black tea and spice accents filling in throughout. Exhibits a fleshy feel but maintains a racy edge for contrast. Best from 2022 through 2032."

  The Wine Advocate
  "Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Clos de l'Oratoire offers up warm plums, fresh blackberries and blueberries with hints of cigar box, pencil lead and charcuterie. Medium-bodied, the palate has great density with loads of earthy accents and a firm, fine-grained framed, finishing with a compelling herbal lift."

  "Fresh flowers and herbs with crushed berries and broken stones. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. A little lean. But it’s a pleasing wine. Drink after 2021."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Strawberry, earth, black cherry and floral notes open the wine. Medium/full bodied with lush, soft textures, the fruit is juicy, fresh and sweet. You can drink this young or age it for a few years. The wine was made from blending 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The harvest took place September 26 to October 10. Due to the frost, close to 65% of the harvest was lost."

  Jeb Dunnuck
  "Based on 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc brought up in 50% new French oak, the 2017 Clos De L'Oratoire offers beautiful notes of blackcurrants, chocolate, ground herbs, iron, and crushed rocks. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, has wonderful purity of fruit, fine tannins, and a great finish. This is a beautiful 2017 to enjoy over the coming 15 years or more."
