Halos de Jupiter 2019 Vacqueyras 750ml

Bottled in June of this year, the 2019 Vacqueyras offers a ripe, full-bodied, sexy style, which is what this appellation delivers in spades in 2019. A blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Mourvèdre, it has both red and black fruits, notes of candied violets and flowery incense, sweet tannins, outstanding balance, and a great finish. Drink this pleasure-bent beauty over the coming 7-8 years.
