The 2011 Cairanne is a sweetly fruited, supple and nicely textured effort that’s geared for immediate gratification. Plum, candied cherries, violets, mint and hints of flowers all shows from this enjoyable 2011. A blend of 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Mourvedre and 10% Carignan that spent 18 months all in concrete, consume it over the coming couple of years.
