Grand Cru Wine Merchants

A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah, this is another astounding wine from the southern Rhone’s 2009 vintage. Aged in concrete as well as neutral wood, its dark ruby/plum color is followed by a big, sweet kiss of truffles, black cherries, tobacco leaf, and spice box. This medium to full-bodied, juicy, succulent Cotes du Rhone-Villages Cairanne is impossible to resist, so enjoy it over the next 2-3 years. -93pts WA
