Reminding me of the 2010, the 2012 Rasteau les Esqueyrons is one of the top wines in the vintage. Made from close to equal parts concrete tank-aged Grenache and barrel-aged Syrah, it sports an inky purple color to go with knockout aromas and flavors of creme de cassis, blackberry, crushed violets and licorice. Full-bodied, decadent, heady and thrillingly rich, this is blockbuster stuff that will have over a decade of longevity. - Jeb Dunnuck
