PETITE CASSAGNE

"A sensational estate..." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Costieres de Nimes
2001 $11.99
"The deep ruby hued 2001 exhibits a sweet nose of ripe black cherries, flowers and loamy soil aromas. A blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% old vine Carignan is Pinot Noir like in its elegance, suave texture and surprising complexity." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #153
2000 $11.99 available
"A noteworthy effort, the tank-fermented and aged 2000 red Costieres de Nimes (50% Syrah, 25% Grenache, and 25% Carignan) exhibits tremendous fruit, density, and texture. Dense ruby/purple-colored, medium-bodied, and supple-textured, it is best drunk over the next 1-2 years." 90 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #147

Costieres de Nimes Rose
2003 $9.99
"A gorgeous, slightly off dry Rose made from 75% Grenache and 25% Syrahm this exhuberantly fruity 2003 offers hints of strawberries, cherries and white flowers. With far more character than most roses (Isuspect that's a characteristic of the vintage), it should be enjoyed over the next 12 months." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #153
