Domaine Brusset’s two 2007 Cairannes are both beautiful wines as well as outstanding bargains. The 2007 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Cairanne Les Travers exhibits a dense ruby/purple color in addition to a sweet nose of sage brush, pepper, licorice, black cherries, and black currants. Medium-bodied with beautiful fruit, soft tannins, a Provencal personality, and a long finish, it should be enjoyed over the next 2-4 years.
