A delicious example of Costières de Nîmes, this blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache combines bright raspberry fruit with hints of garrigue for a taste experience that’s notable for its complexity. The tannins are supple, while the long finish features hints of chocolate. The review is of the “white label” wine, but the importer claims the wine is identical to that…

Domaine Bahourat 2009 Cuvée Elisabeth Red (Costières de Nîmes)
-
$11
A dark-toned, rather full-bodied expression of Costières, with notes of tapenade, coffee and tar taking the lead over baked plums. The blend is Syrah-heavy, at 80%, with the balance made up of Grenache. Drink now–2015.
