Cave de Cairanne / Camille Cayran, Cairanne (Rhône Valley, France) 2015

Judging from this wine, the individuals at this village co-op who are selecting fruit and working in the cellar are conspicuously talented for an establishment of this type.  The fruit shows terrific purity and texture that is soft but not unfocused, with savory undertones accenting the flavors, which seem Grenache-dominant.  Multiple retailers in France, Germany and Denmark are selling this for the Euro equivalent of less than $10, and you can buy it in Paris — in magnum — for less than $17.  Vintners in California had better be glad that they’re insulated from competition at this level by both a continent and an ocean.
