Nizas 2020 Le Clos Languedoc Red   

2020 Domaine de Nizas “Le Clos”, Terroir Basalte, Languedoc
San Francisco Wine Panel 90 Points

Forthcoming and attractively spicy, the nose of this Rhone blend is a fruity mix of dark cherry, black raspberry, grenadine and black peppercorn scents with background hints of dried herbs, dark earth and hazelnut. Dark plum, black raspberry, licorice, black pepper, black tea, leather and mineral undercurrents are all notable on the palate. The finish lingers with plenty of fruit and a food friendly balane. A blend of 50% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre and 15% Carignane.
