Camille Cayran 2022 Cairanne Grande Reserve, Rhone, France

Made from a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre, this is a wine packed with tons of flavor and texture and at such a fair price. Gobs of dark fruit, earth and dried thyme, there is also a faintly smoky, meaty note that adds a very cool complexity. Not heavy or oaked up but with some chew on the finish. Wants meat, hearty cheeses or stewed dishes.
