Famille Perrin Vacqueyras Les Christins 2010


Famille Perrin Vacqueyras Les Christins 2010 (WS91, $26.99 SKU 585315) I found this displayed prominently across from the cashiers at 39th & Cambie. I bought it because this was a southern Rhone red wine and the region usually offered good value wines. I opened it with a variety dinner (lobster tail, beef steak, vegetable with dips and tomato sauce chicken). It took an hour to open up in the glass, but it was a wonderful offering. The nose was pleasant and the palate was smooth. There were taste of berries and a hint of pepper. It went well with most food. According to Wine Spectator, it can be enjoyed now or cellared until 2018. There is ample stock in the system.
