GARD Red Wine, Royal Slope ‘Vaucluse’ 2020

About 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache make up the 2020 Vaucluse from Gard. It needs a minute to open up in the glass, but when ready, it exposes notes of black plum, boysenberry, singed dried herbs, crushed peppercorn, olive, and candied violets. Fine tannins combine with mouthwatering acidity and a savory lengthy finish. 427 cases made.
