The 2007 Cairanne la Ventabren is a terrific wine from winemaker Gilles Ferran. A blend of 70% Grenache, 20 %Syrah and 10% Carignan, aged all in concrete, it has tons of meatiness to go with lots of garrigue and peppery herbs, ripe red and black fruits, medium-bodied richness and a layered, surprisingly elegant and silky texture. It’s drinking at point but will keep for another 3-4 years, easily.
