With carignan- jammy and delicious but not obvious — 6 years ago
Green apple, peach, mineral and floral notes right after opening. As it warms up has a slightly oily sensation reminiscent of lemon peel. At an even later stage a sweet aroma of fennel seeds. Nice long finish with a slight hint of refreshing bitterness. Hint of smokiness as well. Rounded mouthfeel with good and balanced acidity. — 7 years ago

To me good wine stands out from average wine when I can sense three things from it: time, place and intention.
This rustic garnacha clearly carries these three indices.
The top layer of smell is rustic- farm, soil. Sticking my nose in the glass I'm greeted with a maraschino liquor soaked cherry wood barrel.
The palate tells me it's been maturing and mellowing for three quarters of a decade - this is mature but eagerly waiting to be opened. There aren't layers to this- it's straight forward, direct, open and expressive. Elegant in it's simplicity but certainly not posh. Dry, but very much alive, like the garrigues that was once rooted where this vineyard now stands. This is central Spain. — 4 years ago

Smooth, very light, and subtle tastes of pear and apple! My home wouldn’t come up in the app but the cemetery is close by! — 6 years ago
The Grenache-based 2015 Vacqueyras Garrigues presents a riot of vibrant, spice and mineral accented red fruit and floral notes, with just a hint of youthful tannins. It will make a great match for grilled or braised meat and mushroom dishes. $25.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, November 2018) — 8 years ago

Satisfying southern Rhone. Deep wafts of dark berry fruit and garrigue / roasted herbs. Deep, soft, and savory. — a month ago
