Winemaker Notes
Deep purple color. Intense nose of ripe black fruits, plum brandy, cherries brandy, and chocolate. In the mouth the wine has rich flavors of stewed black fruits - it is meaty, well structured and the tannins are present, but they are round and elegant.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
One of my favorite Vacqueyras, the 2012 from Colline Saint Jean checks in as a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah that spent 18 months in concrete tank prior to bottling. It’s a fabulous, pure expression of the tiny appellation and offers gorgeous dark fruits, chocolate, licorice and assorted earthiness, full-bodied richness and a ripe, layered, textured profile on the palate. Buy this beauty by the case and enjoy it over the coming decade.
