A beautiful Syrah (there’s 15% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre), the 2013 Costières de N?mes Terre d’Argence comes from a mix of limestone and rolled stone soils and spent 18 months in tank. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by abundant dark fruits, chocolate, licorice and peppery herb-like aromas and flavors. These flow to a medium-bodied, balanced and beautifully textured 2013 that has tons of charm, sweet tannin and a great finish. At 19 bucks it’s a steal.
