We are very pleased to be the exclusive importer and distributor to Washington State of this very popular and affordable Rhone blend. The wines of Vacqueyras are world famous for their fine, smooth tannins and finesse. The blend is 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 15% Mourvedre. It is ready to drink now but can also be laid down for another five to seven years.
Stephen Tanzer, the famous wine critic, writes: “Bright red. Fresh strawberry and redcurrant on the nose perked up by fresh herbs and cracked pepper. A deeper cherry tone emerges on the palate, with zesty mineral notes coming up with aeration. Fresh, elegant wine, finishing with fine-grained tannins and a tangy quality.” 90 points
