Domaine La Vitalis, Cairanne (Rhône Valley) 2015

Jul 5, 2017

By Michael Franz

 

Readers of a certain age will chortle at the name of this wine when recalling a horrible male hair tonic, but any derisive amusement will be dispelled immediately by the wine.  Rich, deeply flavored fruit is framed by gutsy, grippy tannins–especially for a wine from 2015.  Serious stuff, and very successful.
