| 75 | | | 94 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Full-bodied dry rosé wine; lively lovely medium reddish pink. Intense aromas of red fruits and fresh apricots, while on the palate, red fruits and spice meld and acquire a touch of candied apple in the finish. Simply, one of the most delicious rosés anywhere, and a longtime personal favorite. Intense. Hard to find a rosé more complex, more delicious or more compelling. Good acidity, balance and length. Grapes: Basically Syrah, with some Grenache, Carignan and Mourvèdre. Costières de Nîmes was formerly part of Languedoc-Roussillon declared A.O.C. in 1986 and changed name in 1989. Attached to the Rhône by growers' petition (1998) in 2004.
