Robert Parker

“Primarily sourced from the village of Sarrians, this 2016 Vacqueyras is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, fermented with about 60% whole clusters. Powerful yet supple, it reveals lush notes of blackberries and chocolate, along with delicious aromas and hints of dried spices on a long finish. Best enjoyed within the next 4–5 years.” (Wine Advocate – Robert Parker 2018)
