The inky hued 2020 Vacqueyras Le Rif is a big, rich, modern styled wine that has plenty of oak in its cassis fruit as well as chalky mineral and pepper-like nuances.

Robert Parker - 92 points Mainly Grenache Blanc (60%) and Roussanne (30%), the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Vendange is a solid effort. Hints of toasted nuts give way to bright flavors of tangerine and lime in this medium to full‐bodied yet nicely rounded and...
