  This is a good, pure-tasting Vacqueyras and a great value. This bottle had a little more barnyard going on than the last bottle. Still, this is a wine I'd buy without hesitation, especially for non-special occasion drinking with food that goes with Rhone reds. And frankly, it would work for a more serious pairing as well.

  Very nice wine with enjoyable fruit flavors. The structure might have been weaker than I expected it would be from a Vacqueyras. Perhaps this was because it is still a relatively young wine. However, it was delicious. I have one more bottle, which is tempting to drink soon to enjoy its youth, but I'm inclined to wait to see what develops in five years or so. Then again, why wait? The question will linger over this wine as it does many, alas.

  very very fruity. Lots of dark fruit and heat. On the palate less intense, medium finish.
