Costieres de Nîmes by Pierre Vidal, 2020 Croatina These 30-year-old vines are harvestedSouthern Ctes du Rhne blend of 60% Grenache with roughly equal parts of the Syrah and Mourvdre grapes, its a fleshy but elegant wine, with an enveloping core of spicy dark berries and a firm grip of tannins. Beyond the fruit, its the expression of the soil that gives the wine its true identity. It's a wild, seductive, rustic wine that exudes the South of France.
