Mary Taylor 'Pierre Vidal' Costieres de Nimes, Rhone, France 2020 Case (6x750ml) Heiwa Shuzou This is majestically impressive -A typical blend of 60% Grenache with roughly equal parts of the Syrah and Mourvdre grapes, this is a fleshy but elegant wine, with an enveloping core of spicy dark berries and a firm grip of tannins. But beyond the fruit, its the expression of the soil that gives the wine its true identity.
