It's only wine but I like it
It's only wine but I like it

Initially, i baulked at he price- $40 for Vacqueyras? But if placed in blind tasting with $50-70 Chateauneufs, this wine would not be out of place. Dense, complex, rip spice/garrigue infused. this wine is simply sensational. Waves of flavour wash over the palate and linger. Wow! One of the very best wines I have tasted in 2020. I actually picked it up on sale for $32. Drinking nicely now but sure to hold through 2025.
