A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah, the 2016 Vacqueyras Garrigues is a strong effort, boasting hints of garrigue that accent raspberry and chocolate notes. Medium to full-bodied, with rich, velvety tannins, it remains vibrant and fresh through the long, silky finish. It should drink well for a decade.

Silky and perfumed, with alluring raspberry, rooibos tea and dried anise notes swirling through. Light shiso leaf and mineral hints line the finish. Drink now through 2021. 4,166 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–JM??Region: France / Southern Rh?ne / Vacqueyras Select to Add
