Yet another Nimes estate ferreted-out by importer Bobby Kacher, Dominique Ricome’s Chateau de Valcombe has produced a strawberry-, herb-, and melon-scented 2007 Costieres de Nimes Syrah-Grenache Rose that is soft in feel and roundly fruity yet retains plenty of refreshment value and finishes with hints of salt, strawberry skin, and marjoram.
