Critic Scores
The 2016 Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes suggests hung game at first, then unfolds into layers of raspberries and cherries, bound together by hints of leather, cocoa and dried spices. A blend of 75% Grenache (planted in 1932) and 25% Syrah (planted in 1960), this medium to full-bodied wine is a super example of Vacqueyras made in a traditional style, with no new oak. The fine, silky tannins are all derived from the grapes, lingering elegantly on the mouthwatering finish.
