A noteworthy effort, the tank-fermented and aged 2000 red Costieres de Nimes (50% Syrah, 25% Grenache, and 25% Carignan) exhibits tremendous fruit, density, and texture. Dense ruby/purple-colored, medium-bodied, and supple-textured, it is best drunk over the next 1-2 years.Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
