Cairanne Côtes du Rhône Villages Red Rhone Blend

Drink now and give it plenty of air. This is a terrific '11 that could use a couple more years to meld the fruit and the tannins.

Boxing Day dinner: Catherine Le Goeuil's bright, graceful #organic S. #Rhône blend-- Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Counoise-- just right with the sumptuous cassoulet

My juicy dark fruit to keep me warm before I hit the sack. Live me some CDR :)

Delectable isn't letting me change rating. Would rate it significantly higher.

Damn. Amazing after you give it time to open. Black pepper, earth, blackberries, great acidity. Wow.

Good North Rhone blend from a good year!!!

Smooth, and more fruit forward than the nose would allude to. Lovely!

Pepper, smoke, floral, roasted potatoes and rosemary. Needs decanting. Demands it.

Solid dry start. Medium complex tannins in the middle. A bit of a dry fruit slightly overripe. Medium finish. Good and enjoyable.

Juicy fruit with a little smokiness on the backend. Opens up really nicely but will keep for a while
