Tasting like a good St Joseph (although it’s roughly 60% Grenache and only 10% Syrah, go figure), the 2013 Cairanne Reserve des Seigneurs gives up lots of dark berry fruits, pepper, olive and hints of violets in a medium-bodied, pretty, pure and lively style. It shows the cooler nature of the vintage, has good acidity and a clean finish. Drink it anytime over the coming 4-5 years.
