Intense in both color and character, the most dense and vinous I can ever remember from this cuvée.

This dark, autumnal rosé is a beacon of tradition in a sea of paler styles.

Durban does here what they do best, keeping the focus and precision of the terroir as well as loads of fruit and pleasure.

The palate is dense and ripe, yet wonderfully smooth and elegant. Racines seems to tap into the history of Les Pallières, the prestige and the high-toned elegance.

The Férigoules have honed a unique style of Vacqueyras that mixes deep, dark color with a lightness of touch, rusticity with warmth, and minerality with delicious fresh fruit.

This is about as quaffable as the region’s rouges get.

Deep, concentrated, and refreshingly saline, this is like great Cornas with Mediterranean influences.
