The two finest wines from Domaine des Amouriers include the 1995 Vacqueyras Cuvee Genestes (a blend of 40% Syrah and 60% Grenache) and the limited production (225 cases, of which 25 cases will make it to the United States) 1995 Vacqueyras Cuvee Hautes Terrasses, made from 100% Syrah. The Cuvee Genestres reveals gobs of black cassis fruit, along with cherries, herbs, and earth notes. Medium to full-bodied, with excellent definition, and a spicy, peppery, long finish, it should drink well for 4-5 years. This wine was tasted between June 1 and June 16, 1996.
