The deep ruby/purple-colored 2000 VDP, a tank-fermented and aged blend of 55% Grenache and 45% Syrah (5,500 cases exported to the USA), offers a gorgeous bouquet of berries, pepper, and spice, a lovely texture, abundant quantities of sweet fruit, terrific purity, and a long finish. A serious, dry red wine that can be served slightly chilled, it is totally captivating and delicious. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel.
