This spicy, Grenache-based Vacqueyras exudes Provençal lushness and charm, with abundant raspberry, bitter cherry and floral notes. Substantial enough for rich winter fare, the 2017 also has the energy to pair well with lighter foods. It’s still young, so a quick decant is in order. $25.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2019)

Perfumed nose, with preserved dark fruit. Big juicy fruit with soft tannins on the back end. Fresh!

Grenache + Syrah + Cinsault blend sourced from steep garrigues in the area of Vacquryras, Southern Rhone. viticulture is organic with very low intervention in the vineyard. 20% Syrah added to the blend bring a spicy dark fruit note along with the more ethereal and floral Cinsault on the back. Tannins are firm but soften by the oak ageing. Definitely a steak red blend

Very jammy. Like eating blueberry preserves. Nice texture, very much like a good tea.

Thus sit he 2012. A nice southern Rhone village wine. This wine has an earthy and funky quality that I just love. There is plum and blackberries along with resonant spices. Acidity is just a bit bright and the rustic tannins work well with this flavor profile. Finish is long with leather and a garam masala spice effect.

Nice red/black fruit medely on the nose which moves into a nice rich, near medical quality. Should get really really good with some time.
