The 2016 Cairanne Cuvee Maximilien is a blend of 55% Grenache, 35% Mourvèdre, 5% Carignan and 5% Syrah, with the Mourvèdre aged in oak. This offers a dusty-earthy, traditional Rh?ne profile, with cherry fruit at the core but most of the flavor interest being dry and savory. Drink this open-knit, coarsely textured wine over the next 5 years.
