La Bastide Saint Dominique, Les 2 Arbres Cairanne 2020

93 points Wine Enthusiast
"This wine is an even blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Mourvèdre. It offers a dynamic and layered palate of blackberry, rhubarb and cassis liquor over a persistent layer of dried cranberries, fines herbes and black peppercorn, with a stony finish. It is quite impressive and accessible after a short decant."

1-Star Hachette Guide (Very successful)
"Named after the two centuries-old oak trees that mark the entrance to the plot, this Cairanne combines equal parts Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan, the latter being the only one to be aged in wood. It offers an elegant bouquet of forest fruits and oleander, extending into a juicy, supple and long palate, structured by velvety tannins. Already tasty, this bottle can wait a few years in the cellar."
