If you’ve never had a wine from Cairanne, you’re missing out on one of the wine world’s greatest values. Having just achieved AOC status in 2016, these wines from the Southern Rhône are really delicious.
This particular wine is from Denis Alary who owns one of the best domaines in the region and was instrumental in the region’s rise to AOC status. The wines are typically concentrated and full-bodied GSM blends with notes of ripe black fruit and spice. Not overly complex but well balanced and well made. I think of them as something between a Gigondas and an aged Lirac. They can be drunk young as the tannins are usually ripe and smooth. Really fun wines to drink and very budget-friendly. 2015 vintage on Aug 8, 2018. — 6 years ago
