Always a good value and a wine that consistently shows solid varietal character, the 2020 Costières De Nîmes Fleur De Syrah (95% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre) reveals a vivid purple hue as well as textbook notes of darker berries, peppery herbs, violets, and hints of fresh earth. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, this delicious, up-front, easygoing Syrah will keep for 2-4 years, probably longer.
