Good and elegant. Tastes of Luxardo, ripe black cherries, menthol, warm spices, black tea. Hints of umami: Aged cheese and cured meat. — 9 years ago

If this was the first #Vacqueyras you had, you'd be spoiled. This #wine from this region would be hard to follow up for the price.

Meaty and stewed aromas. Lots of robust volume to the nose. Think Luxardo Cherries, then deeper.

Great crimson color. Clear and clean. The palate is a little big, has smooth texture and robust. Great acid and slightly tart to the cherry side.

Had this wine on its own tonight. Could picture it with spicey foods and Asian food.

Beautiful nose of stewed plum, cedar, and white pepper....so smooth over the palate with luxardo cherry, hints of cinnamon and firm tannins showing up on the backside....a delicious blend. — 9 years ago

Old world style from California central coast. The nose is redolent of Luxardo cherries and Antica Formula vermouth. On the palate, there is a battle between fruit and earth; deep, earthy forest flavors are offset by bright, tart spring cherries. Coastal botanicals play against wild fruit. Better than expected. — 9 years ago

Very aromatic and quite enjoyable. First taste straight out of the bottle was like Luxardo cherries. Continued to soften up and drink incredibly. I have a taste left for tomorrow. Hopefully it holds up. — 9 years ago

Tart cherries, tobacco, and a hint of chocolate. As the wine breathes, more luxardo cherry and black berry. Soft tannins and viscous mouthfeel. Amazing. — 10 years ago

9.0

Very Sicilian nose of ripe, nearly pruny fruit with hints of VA, yet surprising refined and balanced on the palate. Luxardo cherry, wet earth, dried herbs, white pepper, sweat. Interesting wine that tastes better than that description probably sounds. — 11 years ago
