title: Chateau Mourgues du Gres 2009 Capitelles Red (Costières de Nîmes)
description: Drawn from a particularly good parcel of old-vine Syrah and bolstered by just 10% Grenache and Carignan, this is an exciting expression of Costières de Nîmes. Aged in 500-liter barrels, the wood component is subtle, adding hints of cedar, vanilla and great textural richness to the wine. Plum, licorice and tree bark notes finish long and velvety. Drink now–2020.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Capitelles
