Robert Parker

"Mainly from the village of Sarrians, this 2016 Vacqueyras is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, fermented with around 60% whole bunches. Powerful and supple, it reveals lush hints of blackberries and chocolate, delicious aromas, and dry spices on a long finish. Best drunk within 4-5 years." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker 2018)
