The silky, medium-bodied 2015 Vacqueyras Garrigues is a step behind the Le Clos, but it's still a pretty, charming wine to drink over the next 5-8 years. Hints of garrigue entwine around a core of raspberry fruit, all underscored by supple tannins and a long, bright finish. The blend is 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah.

Generous and fleshy in feel, with steeped cherry, boysenberry and raspberry fruit wrapped in singed mesquite and backed by a light bramble note on the juicy finish. Drink now through 2020. 4,166 cases made, 56 cases imported.??–JM??Region: France / Southern Rh?ne / Vacqueyras Select to Add
