The early-release 2010 Cairanne (70% Grenache and 30% Syrah made from vines between 40 and 105 years of age) was aged in a combination of cement and neutral oak. It has a dense purple color (slightly more saturated than the 2009) and loads of primary yet intense blueberry black raspberry and cherry fruit intermixed with lavender and licorice. Full-bodied intense fresh with sweet tannin this is another beauty that over-delivers. Drink it over the next 2-3 years.
