 Tasted by prof b on 8/4/2012: Wine Tasting at the Stockmann's (St. Louis): An example of a solid dry rose. Strawberry and other light fruits hit the palate with bright acidity that makes this an easy quaffer. (3693 views)
 Tasted by wmccone54 on 7/21/2012 & rated 88 points: Light texture, salmon color. Watermelon and strawberry nose. Very dry in the mouth with flavors of tart strawberry and crisp raspberry underscored with a nice minerality. Nice finish. (1365 views)
 Tasted by Leomania on 7/21/2012 & rated 87 points: Nice strawberry flavor with just the right amount of acidity for sipping or enjoyment with a meal. Went nicely with a tarragon chicken salad. An excellent value. (3231 views)
 Tasted by rocknroller on 7/14/2012 & rated 87 points: Chards and Pinots (Shari's house, Mpls, MN): Light pink color. Drank one glass over 20 minutes. Nose as a very interesting dusty/cedar essence that is dominant, followed by mineral, and cherry in the background. The palate is light and adds tart fruit , cherry, some citrus, and is rather tangy. This is pretty nice, i found the nose interesting but a tad one dimensional. 87-88pts. (1853 views)
 Tasted by MLipton on 7/10/2012: Purchased for a group function and not opened, so opened last night during a blistering hot evening. Light, mineral-inflected strawberry, quite dry. Overwhelmed by food for the most part, but a light, fun quaff on its own. (1024 views)

Château de Campuget

Producer website

U.S. Importer (source of add'l info)

Château de Campuget in Costieres de Nimes is a beautiful wine property dating back to 1640. The soil is typical for the region, with many stones that force roots to find water deep in the lower layers of clay, contributing additional character to the wine. The property is managed by Franck-Lin Dalle, named after one of his dad's heroes, Benjamin Franklin.

Château de Campuget which has belonged to the Dalle family since 1941, produces AOC Costieres de Nimes wines.

Red Rhone Blend

Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.

A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.
