The 1999 Les Hautes Terrasses is a vin de pays made from 100% Syrah. Although it does not reveal the complexity or generosity of the Vacqueyras cuvees, it possesses a deep ruby/purple color as well as hints of blackberries, creosote, and smoke. Medium-bodied and impeccably well-made, it is more international in style. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
