Present, up front black fruit. But, backed up with a lovely balance of acidity and tannins. A bit young, but charming. Lighter bodied for a Vacq.

First time with this cuvée of 60/30/10 Grenache Syrah Cinnault. Nice deep garnet color and black fruited earthy spicy notes with a bit of funk. Balanced and complex on palate carrying through to finish. Nice.

A funky garrigue on the nose. Fennel, cedar, and classic Southern Rhone flavors. Sweet fruit flavor, but undercut by a tartness. A good tannin structure. Meaty and smoky.

Beautiful ruby color, with saddle on the nose quite strongly. Medium tannins but not too overwhelming. Classic Rhone with the baking spices and raspberry. Quite lovely.
