JamesSuckling.com by Stuart Pigott writes 91 Points | The smoke and black pepper notes of syrah are intertwined with the fleshiness and mellower personality of the grenache grape in a very convincing manner. Behind this is a solid base of supple tannins that has been expertly crafted. The generous red fruit and touches of blackberries and summer flowers give this a lot of appeal. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
The Wine Spectator by Kristen Bieler writes 88 Points | Smoke and earth underscore the generous notes of cherry and sweet, toasty oak in this plush, enjoyable red. A crowd-pleaser, with nice character and graphite energy. There's a snappy edge to the satisfying finish. Grenache, Syrah, Marselan and Carignan.

Parallèle 45 is named after the famous latitude where great wines are born worldwide. It spans across France and passes over the cellars of Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné. The generosity and deliciousness of this blend reveals fruity aromas, subtly elevated by selected grapes varieties with delicate spice notes for a delightfully fresh finish.
"A well-rounded, juicy and fruit-driven blend of 53% grenache, 37% syrah, 5% mourvedre, 3% marselan and 2% carignan. It shows red berries, dried thyme, bay leaves and loads of baking spices on the nose, following through to a medium body with silky tannins and texture. It’s a serious Cotes-du-Rhone with plenty of fun and juicy fruit and a kick of spices lifting the finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
