(92-94) A 50-50 blend of Grenache and Syrah, the 2017 Vacqueyras le Clos offers up peppery, spicy aromas, plenty of berry fruit and a full-bodied, velvety-textured palate. It looks just about as good as the fabulous 2016. ... More details

Bright violet. A highly perfumed, complex bouquet evokes ripe red and blue fruits, exotic spices, potpourri, olive and candied licorice. Palate-staining sweet raspberry, mulberry, cherry liqueur and violet pastille flavors show superb clarity and a bracing core of juicy acidity. Hangs on with superb tenacity on the youthfully tannic finish, which emphatically repeats the floral and spice notes. This is definitely among the standouts of this vintage. All concrete.

Region: Rhone Valley

For over two thousand years, the southern French region of the Rhone Valley has been home to wine-makers and wineries of many different types. The ancient Greeks were the first to discover that a wide range of grape varietals can flourish in the rich soils and micro-climates which typify the region, and little has changed to this day. In the modern age, the Rhone Valley is recognized around the world as the home of excellent quality white, red and rosé wines, as well as some of the most highly respected blended wines on earth. The region is split into two distinctive sub-regions, with the cooler, continental northern sub-region producing primarily Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines of exquisite quality, and the hotter southern sub-region growing a much wider variety of grapes.
