Domaine de Nizas 2008

Owned by an American wine maker, this vineyard in Languedoc produces a variety of wines, including this red blend. It's nicely made, with subdued accents of plum and blackberry, certainly a cut above the majority of Languedoc reds, many of which do not rise above the level of mass produced plonk. Whether it's worth 11.99 is anybody's guess.
