The only Vacqueyras I was able to taste, the 2012 Vacqueyras Tradition (75% Grenache and 25% Mourvedre) is fresh and upfront, with perfumed raspberry, underbrush and crushed flower-like aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, sweetly fruited and with fine tannin, it makes the most of the vintage and is a fun drink. Enjoy it over the coming 3-5 years.
