Domaine le Clos de Caveau 2003 Clos de Caveau Red (Vacqueyras)
-
$23
Stunning wine that's among the standard-bearers of the appellation, seamlessly blending bright raspberry fruit with dried spices into a wonderfully complex whole. Then it pairs the complexity of the bouquet with a creamy, full mouthfeel and a long, satisfying finish. Drink now-2015.

Domaine le Clos de Caveau 2004 Clos de Caveau Red (Vacqueyras)

$23
Not quite as lush and complete as the 2003 version, but still darn good. The 2004 matches red berry fruit with a creamy texture and good acidity, while curls of chocolate garnish the finish.
