Cuvée Jean-Marie Vacqueyras Red, 2009
Deep purple in color with red fruit and spice on the nose. Balanced and full on the palate with notes of red berry, spice, and plum. Medium finish.
88 points- Wine Advocate "The slightly lighter 2007 Vacqueyras Arnoux et Fils is richly fruity, with soft tannins, and decent acidity. All these 2007s merit serious attention. " 90-93 points: Wine Advocate "One of the most compelling wines in this very good portfolio is the 2009 Vacqueyras Jean-Marie Arnoux. From some of the estate's oldest vines, this blend of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre was aged in foudres and bottled without fining or filtration. Loaded with notes of sweet kirsch, licorice, camphor, incense and spring flowers, this dense ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied, multidimensional, powerful, long wine reveals superb equilibrium and intensity. It should age nicely for a decade. "-Robert Parker
