(8/28/2018) "A blend of 50% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, and the rest Syrah, Cinsault, and Counoise, the 2016 Cotes du Rhone Esprit Francais Cuvee Cancan offers a deeper, denser, more masculine personality. Black fruits, smoked earth, black olive, and gravelly minerality all give way to a big, rich, concentrated wine that has building tannin, a big mid-palate, and fine, elegant, yet certainly present tannin. Give it a few years."
