This wine is nearly outstanding. When measured by points per pennies, this is an extraordinary value. Made from a blend of 55% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot, and tank-fermented and aged, it is a surprisingly complex, rich, opulently-textured wine displaying a deep ruby/purple color, sweet, black cherry, kirsch, pepper, and spice in a medium-bodied format. Crammed with fruit, extract, and glycerin, it comes across as sumptuous on the palate - amazing for a $7 dry red from southern France. This fleshy, vividly ripe and pure wine should drink well for 3-4 years.This wine may be even better than my point score. Chateau de Campuget is one of the stars of the up and coming appellation of Costieres de Nimes. This wine, tank-fermented and aged, is exciting because of its wonderfully pure fruit, texture, and purity.Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
