Domaine Grand Nicolet Rasteau Les Esqueyrons 2014

Robert Parker: 92 point
“One of my favorite Rasteaus out there is the Les Esqueyrons cuvee from Grand Nicolet and their 2014 Rasteau les Esqueyrons is a terrific wine in the vintage. Made from equal parts Grenache and Syrah, with the Grenache aged in tank and the Syrah in barrel, it’s a medium to full-bodied, elegant Rasteau (which is becoming more and more common for the appellation) that offers textbook notes of dark berry fruits, dried garrigue and earth. It has no hard edges, solid concentration and a supple finish, all suggesting it will drink nicely for at least 7-8 years.”
