"The Grenache dominated 2012 Cairanne Vieilles Vignes (which also incorporates some Carignan and Syrah) spent 12 months in concrete tanks prior to bottling. It’s another outstanding effort and offers loads of currants, leather, licorice and herbed meat aromas and flavors, with the Carignan component showing more and more with air. Medium-bodied, nicely concentrated and with notable tannin."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
