2023 Clos des Cazaux Vacqueyras Cuvee Saint Roch - 92 PTS - JD

2023 Clos des Cazaux Vacqueyras Cuvee Saint Roch - 92 PTS - JD

jeb dunnuck logo 250"A beauty, the 2023 Vacqueyras Cuvée Saint Roch offers gorgeous Provençal aromatics of black cherries, garrigue, spice, and assorted street market-like goodness. Based on 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre and aged 18 months in concrete tanks, it's medium-bodied and has a pure, layered mouthfeel, sweet tannins, moderate acidity, and a great finish. I love it today yet see no reason it shouldn't evolve for a solid decade or more in cold cellars. Drink 2026-2037."

2020 Clos des Cazaux Vacqueyras Cuvee Saint Roch - 90 PTS - JD

jeb dunnuck logo 250"As to the reds, the 2020 Vacqueyras Saint Roch is mostly Grenache but includes 25% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre, all raised in tank. It's a pretty, medium-bodied, elegant wine (which is the vintage) and offers some earthy red and black fruits, truffle, leather, and garrigue aromatics, fine tannins, and outstanding balance. Drink bottles over the coming 5-7 years or so."
