"I love the roughly 400-case 2014 Vacqueyras la Cuvee and itâs certainly a success in the vintage. Made from 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah that was mostly destemmed and aged in concrete tanks and second fill barrels. It offers a fabulous bouquet of sandalwood, dried Provencal herbs, garrigue and ripe black raspberry fruit. It has a kiss of barrique, but more than enough fruit to handle it. Drink this medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured Vacqueyras anytime . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
