AC Costières de Nîmes
A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault.
A rather odd dark pink hue in the glass.
Earthy, spicy, rich fruit on the nose.
Light to medium bodied, earthy, a light bitter bite, cherry, raspberry, good acidity, refreshing, rather simple.
Earthy-bitter streak on the finish.
Given this winery's track record, I was rather disappointed with this wine. It was correct and there was nothing really wrong with it, but it failed to interest or excite me.
I also found it odd that a rose would weigh in at 13.5 per cent alcohol.
