In the relatively new AOC Cairanne, this producer uses Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsault to make this wine which is blueish purple and has blueberries and plums on the nose and a strong menthol-ridden taste which makes the wine funky and unpleasant.

Another win by Brussett. Raspberry tart, black plum, black olive, dried herbs, cooked green bell pepper - medium bodied with a lush mouthfeel, balanced. Very nice value wine (~$16) to keep around - paired well with cajun shrimp & grits.

Juicy black fruit leather and tobacco flavors. This is the model wine, when people say that CdR wines are the perfect food friendly wines.

Hard to argue too much with ratings. This is a fun wine to drink and a killer deal at $16 / bottle.

Dark red color. Lovely nose of graphite and minerals. Wine lacks fruit, flavor, and depth. Solid texture, but short finish. Was okay for the price.
