2001 Vacqueyras

The 2001s are all stunning wines, with the best value undeniably the 2001 Vacqueyras. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a big, heady nose of licorice, kirsch liqueur, and spice box. Medium to full-bodied with oodles of fruit, a supple texture, and a lusty finish, it can be enjoyed over the next 4-5 years. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
