Made from the same blend as the Vac, the 2010 Vacqueyras reveals a soft, fruit-forward, consumer-friendly style offering copious berry fruit, roasted herb and spicy pepper characteristics in its lush, succulent personality. It is meant to be consumed in its first 3-5 years of life. (Not yet released) With over 100 acres in Vacqueyras, this is a large estate making at least seven separate Vacqueyras cuvees. They all reveal a family style, and are consistently well made efforts although not among the finest in the appellation. Prices are very reasonable across the board except for their top cuvee, the 1717, which costs three times more than its siblings. Importer: Grape Expectations, Raleigh, NC ; tel. (919) 781-1655
