Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A relatively flat, neutral white, this is a blend of 40% Viognier, 30% Marsanne and 30% Grenache Blanc. It’s not too broad or fat, but none too crisp, either. Think of it as a clean, blank canvas you can perk up with any type of food.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A bit lighter than the Vieilles Vignes bottling, but thisis still a very good rendition of Vacqueyras. Raspberry and strawberry notes mark the nose and palate, while the tannins are supple. Very drinkable, finishing with peppery spice. Drink now–2009.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This impressive blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah admirably showcases the attributes of Vacqueyras, featuring bold red-fruit scents accented by clove spice. It’s creamy and full-bodied, with raspberry and strawberry fruit buttressed by firm tannins on the finish. Drink now–2012.

This Southern Rhone is mostly a Grenache blend and earned 88 points from Wine Spectator. Tannic and full-bodied, as a Rhone should be, it has aromas of cassis, freshly cut wood, raspberry and figs. Their is a definite earthiness, which I love, to the flavor. It's a great steak wine and a solid value at $10.
