Château de Campuget 2011 La Sommelière Syrah (Costières de Nîmes)

Country: France / La Sommelière
Variety: Syrah Rhône Valley
Winery: Château de Campuget / Costières de Nîmes

This wine boasts an attractive nose of garrigue and mixed berries, but falls off a bit on the palate, where it comes across as a bit thin in texture. The cherry-berry flavors are pleasant, but the wine appears to lack concentration and richness. Tasted a second time, I found it slightly better (86 points), but still have concerns about the lack of texture on the midpalate.
