Almost all from the estate Bec Vineyard in the southern part of the appellation, the 2016 Costières de Nîmes Nostre Païs is a blend of 55% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault. Orange peel, black raspberries, exotic flowers, spice, and a limestone-like minerality all flow from this elegant, seamless, medium to full-bodied 2016 that has both freshness and richness. It's a no-brainer purchase and will drink nicely for 5-6 years.

Ripe, with a fresh and open feel to the mix of raspberry and red currant coulis flavors, infused with garrigue and tobacco accents on the finish. Features pretty perfume throughout. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault. Drink now through 2020.
