2009 年份的這款 Vacqueyras 葡萄酒與 2004 年份的同款酒一樣具有陳釀潛質(zhì)，但是它的風(fēng)味更加豐富，酒精含量更高（在 15% 以上）。該酒散發(fā)著濃郁的櫻桃利口酒、甘草和覆盆子的香氣，酒體豐滿，果香突出，極富特色。 這款酒釀造時完全在大酒罐中陳釀。

Perhaps the finest Vacqueyras Des Tours has produced since the 1989 and 1990 is the 2007. This powerhouse boasts stunning levels of kirsch, garrigue, pepper and framboise, a big, full-bodied mouthfeel and super freshness, purity and overall equilibrium. It will benefit from another several years of bottle age and keep for 12-15 years. At his home estate, Emmanuel Reynaud (who has been producing the Rayas wines since 1997) has nearly 100 acres of vineyards from which he makes a wonderful array of value-priced reds and whites.Importer: Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel.

Essentially made from 100% Grenache, the light ruby-hued 2006 Vacqueyras exhibits super intense kirsch fruit as well as a whiff of strawberries, garrigue and underbrush. It should drink well for 5-6 years.

The medium ruby-colored 2005 Vacqueyras reveals loads of spring flower-like notes intermixed with black cherries, raspberries, loamy soil, and roasted Provencal herbs. A sumptuous, full-bodied, flavorful, long, head-turning seductress, it should provide immense enjoyment over the next decade. Chateau des Tours is Emmanuel Reynaud’s (the nephew of the late Jacques Reynaud as well as the winemaker at Chateau Rayas and Fonsalette since 1997) home estate. His wines are always complex, aromatic efforts that never possess much color, but offer plush, full-bodied textures as well as plenty of personality. All of these cuvees are fairly-priced, especially the Vin de Pays and Cotes du Rhone. Both the 2006 and 2005 Vin de Pays are blends of 70% Grenache and the rest Counoise and Cinsault. There are 2,000 cases of the top cuvee, the Rayas-like Vacqueyras, a 100% Grenache cuvee made from fruit grown in pure sandy soils.Importer: Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel. (415) 883-0400
