WINE SPECTATOR 93 POINTS - "Warm and inviting, with a lovely wave of warmed cassis and plum preserve flavors infused gently with anise, black tea and singed sandalwood notes that blossom through the finish. Very suave. Drink now."
JEB DUNNUCK 92 POINTS - "From one of my favorite estates, the 2019 Vacqueyras Tradition offers up a beautiful bouquet of ripe cassis and blackberry fruits as well as violets, spring flowers, and peppery herbs. Most 2019s are rich and opulent, but this holds onto a wonderful sense of purity and elegance, with medium to full body, integrated acidity, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s a no brainer purchase. The blend is 44% each of Grenache and Syrah, with the balance Mourvèdre."
