2022 Domaine La Bouissiere Vacqueyras [JD92]

Producer: Domaine La Bouissiere Region: Vacqueyras, Rhone, France  Blend: 44% Grenache, 44% Syrah, 12% Mourvèdre Year: 2022  Jeb Dunnuck, 92 Points  "From one of my favorite estates, the 2019 Vacqueyras Tradition offers up a beautiful bouquet of ripe cassis and blackberry fruits as well as violets, spring flowers, and peppery herbs. Most 2019s are rich and opulent, but this holds onto a wonderful sense of purity and elegance, with medium to full body, integrated acidity, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s a no brainer purchase. The blend is 44% each of Grenache and Syrah, with the balance Mourvèdre."  Winemaker Notes:  "Aromas of black fruits, lavender, wild herbs, soy; flavors of black raspberries and baking spice. Smooth but present tannins.  Pair this wine alongside red meat, charcuterie laced with black pepper, or roasted pork with fresh herbs."  Alcohol: 14.5%  *Price and availability in store may vary.
