2019 Domaine Fontaine du Clos Vacqueyras Castillon [JD92]

Producer: Domaine Fontaine du Clos  Region: Vacqueyras, Rhone, France  Blend: 55% Grenache, 40% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre Year: 2019  Jeb Dunnuck, 92 Points  "The 2019 Vacqueyras Castillon is in the same ballpark quality-wise. Based on 55% Grenache, 40% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre, it’s loaded with Provençal notes of red plums, jammy cherries, garrigue, and incense. Concentrated, full-bodied, and mouth-filling, it stays perfectly balanced and has enough tannins to warrant a year or two of bottle age."  Winemaker Notes:  "Shiny dress with carmine red highlights. Intense and complex nose, with roasted notes of black fruits and garrigue. Smooth and full bodied in the palate. Great mastery of aging."   Alcohol: 15%  *Price and availability in store may vary.
