Big, juicy, ripe, tannic. Nothing insipid here with 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. Dark fruit, leather, and oak. 15% alc.

Heavy, rich tannery, leather, cigar smoke, hot cinnamon. Plums.

Woah, reminds me why I love this region. Not the most rounded Vacqueyras I’ve had, but definitely got the smokey, rich, spicy, full body notes I love, paired with an incredibly silky mouthfeel.

Intense fruits of blackberry, raspberry, plums. Moderate to high acidity works well here with the intense jams.

Opened a 2017 that we bought in June 2018 at the winery. Enjoying with salami and fog jam, olives and a nice cheese. Nice and semi sweet-refreshing in an early summer evening at Shakespeare in the Park.

(16.5/20) Свежий аромат вишни, сливы, луговых трав и цветов. Высокая кислотность и гладкие танины. Кислые красные ягоды во вкусе. Весьма достойно. #DVR2017

Nice and drinkable. Takes a moment to open up. Chocolate ripe dark fruits. Tannins on point not a long finish but dry in front.
