Château Grande Cassagne 2008 Grenache-Syrah (Costières de Nîmes)

Country: France / Rhône Valley
Variety: Grenache-Syrah
Winery: Château Grande Cassagne /

A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, this is another example of the fine values coming out of the Costières de Nîmes. It’s a medium-bodied wine with a velvety texture and a fine balance between herbs and raspberry fruit on the one hand and dark berries and earth on the other. Drink it over the next 2–3 years.
