2012 Vacqueras Grenache Noir, Syrah, Mourvedre

Romain Duvernay Vacqueras Grenache from the renowned Vacqueras region presents a captivating expression of Grenache Noir, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. This red wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, offering a delightful balance between richness and approachability. Its acidity is bright and refreshing, enhancing the wine's overall liveliness. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring luscious notes of ripe cherries, raspberries, and subtle hints of blackcurrant, interwoven with spices and earthy undertones. Tannins are medium, providing a soft, velvety structure that complements the wine's flavor complexities. Notably, the wine is dry, allowing the rich fruit characteristics to shine without being overshadowed by sweetness. This 2012 vintage beautifully reflects the terroir of Vacqueras, making it a memorable choice for lovers of Southern Rhône wines.
