The 2013 Vacqueyras les Hautes Vacquieres is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault that was raised mostly in stainless steel tanks, yet had 25% in French oak barrels. It offers up notes of plums, black raspberries, pepper and garrigue. This is a medium-bodied, fruit-filled and nicely concentrated Vacqueyras that will dish out loads of pleasure over the coming 5-7 years.
