"Plenty of smoke and a touch of black pepper, as well as the big blackberry fruit of the Southern Rhone! Full body and the alcohol to go with it, but everything fits nicely together and the wine has a very harmonious, long finish, thanks to the rather fine tannins. Drink or hold."

"Always a winner, the 2022 Vacqueyras Grande Garrigue is incredibly Provençal and complex, with beautiful red fruits, Provençal herbs, and spice notes in its medium to full-bodied, ripe, round, sexy profile. A blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, and 5% Mourvèdre, it was vinified in temperature-controlled tanks followed by aging in a mix of tanks and oak barrels (1-4 years old). Drink this incredibly satisfying Vacqueyras over the coming 8-10 years."
