This well-run estate owned by Helen Durand has fashioned a pure, richly fruity 2007 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Cairanne offering notes of earth, pepper, garrigue, and sweet strawberry and cherry fruit. Medium-bodied and elegant, it acts more like a Pinot Noir than a blend of Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.
