Camille Cayran, Le Pas de la Beaume, Cotes du Rhone


$10, DeKalb Farmer's Market

Camille Cayran,
Le Pas de la Beaume,
Cotes du Rhone

14% alcohol wine, but not wearing a big hat, if you will. Cherries on the front end, but not particularly sweet. The tannins are supple and round, balancing the fruit well. 75% Grenache, so the fruit is forward, but in a French rather than California way.

Can handle meats to vegetables, strong to light flavors, although I'm not sure it would complement a steak so well.
