The 2019 Vacqueyras Cuvée Spéciale comes from a single vineyard (the lieu-dit is Cabane) and offers a bigger, broader, richer style. Ground pepper, cured meats, chocolate, and garrigue notes all define this ruby-hued beauty, and it has ripe tannins, a round, expansive mouthfeel, and a great finish. It’s up with the top wines in the appellation.

Winemaker Notes

The nose reveals lively balsamic notes, dark berries, fresh laurel, and black olives. The structure is round and generous with a long voluptuous finish.
