2008 Sang des Cailloux Cuvee Vacqueyras, Rhone RP--87--88

Robert Parker: 87--88 Points
Wine Advocate # 185 Oct 2009 Robert Parker (87-89) Drink: N/A Sang des Cailloux's top offering, the 2008 Vacqueyras Cuvee de Lopy exhibits a darker color as well as more depth and potential. While it may last longer than the Doucinello, it, too, should be consumed over the near-term. These were two of the finest 2008 Vacqueyras I tasted. The brilliant 2007s may be the finest wines I have ever tasted from this estate. (Not yet released) One of the top estates of Vacqueyras is Domaine Les Sang des Cailloux. Both 2008 cuvees performed well for the vintage, but they have to take a back seat to what this domaine accomplished in 2007.
