2005 Domaine La Garrigue Vacqueyras

A winery I have mentioned on several previous occasions is Domaine La Garrigue, but always for their great Cotes du Rhone. For the first time in quite a while, I was able to find a bottle of their Vacqueyras and give it a try.

The 2005 Domaine La Garrigue Vacqueyras is a very nice wine. It has the telltale Southern Rhone flavors and a hint of the rustic character of Vacqueyras. To me this wine is a bit of a step up from their excellent Cotes du Rhone, and still a great value. I definitely recommend it to anyone that wants to explore some of the other great appellations of the Southern Rhone.
