    August 25, 2021 - This is one of my favorite bargain reds. Fresh, energetic and savory, this southern Rhône Syrah/ Grenache blend is the perfect red for everyday drinking. And 2016 is an outstanding vintage in the southern Rhône.

    May 20, 2021 - Starts off with a reduced nose of rubber, which clears with 30 minutes of air. What follows is a dark fruited, soft, and easy drinking Southern Rhone blend. Nothing fancy or memorable here, but a pleasant enough glass of wine for non-contemplative consumption.

    March 18, 2020 - Not particularly enjoyable. Lots of alcohol up front. Some berry notes and definite Syrah character but no appreciable length or particular notable qualities. No better the second day. We will see if a little time helps the remaining bottles.

    May 17, 2019 - The 2016 Costières-de-Nîmes Les Grès is a lovely showing. Hard red candy, spice, cherry liqueur, caper and bay leaf blend together to comprise an exotic nose and there is impressive structure and balance in the mouth. A tasty red for near-term drinking.

    March 20, 2019 - Consistent with my prior bottle albeit a tad bit more of everything. Really tasty for $13
