Not really my favorite Rose. However, it would be perfectly good for a picnic where you just want something colorful and refreshing at a very fair price. Certainly better than its competitors at that price. However, it seemed thin in flavor and not enough bite.

salmon/peach color; red berries, peach, floral notes, spice; medium body, bone dry, zippy acidity, 12.5% ABV; blend of 70% Cinsault, 20% Grenache, and 10% Carignan by Laurence Féraud of Domaine du Pegau

Last bottle from the cellar. Still drinking beautifully but probably not for too much longer. Aromas stone and soft fruit lead to soft, red fruit notes and more body than your typical Provence rose. Soft tannins and a strong mineral component lead to racy, bright acidity and a softly tannic finish. Lovely.

Bought four from Wine Library for 9/b last year. This is the last one. Rich pink; subdued nose of strawberry, some spice; grenache shows, good mouthfeel. This was good with spinach/feta quiche on a warm night, but it is not memorable. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I consider this notable when considering quality, age, and price.

Masterclass with Laurence Feraud (Caveau Wine Bar): Appearance is clear, aple intensity, salmon pink colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of sweet red cherries, red peach cream, sweet spices. Youthful. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium- alcohol (12.5%), medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of red peach, red cherry, spice, pink grapefruit with more air. Medium finish, but some white pepper spice does linger a bit longer. Very good quality Rose. Easy drink. Nothing really wow, though it definitely is a class above the usual bleah Provencal Roses. In the serious category already. 100% Cinsault.

Rule the Rhone; 10/27/2016-11/3/2016 (Northern & Southern Rhone): 70% Cinsault, 20% Grenache, 10% Carignan. A blend that is vaguely reminiscent to me of some of my favorite Washington State roses. This is crisp and strawberry and other red fruits. A wine which is meant to be drunk this year (the 2016 will be the first wine bottled). As one of the people in our party mentioned, this is the wine you buy when you are out with friends in the summer at the wine bar and want something fresh and quaffable.

Very enjoyable wine with fresh melon, strawberry, rosemary, sage, minerality, and floral notes. The palate has good freshness with nice flavors, and feels light and crisp. Not heavy at all like I would worry that it might be from this warmer area and overall quite tasty.

Pale pink, slow moving legs, watery rim. Dry, medium(+) acidity, medium(-) alcohol, medium(-) body. Rather closed nose of fruit, dust, mineral. Great palate of red fruit, mineral, saltine notes. Bright texture, structure and some complexity that does not get it the way of sheer enjoyment. Great length with focused lingering finish. Fantastic food wine.

A Pegau vertical (and a Foreau) (My Home): Pink/orange in color. The nose has some cherries and also some spice. On the palate, this is simple yet refreshing. Good cherry fruit. Not complex, but really made a nice transition.

- Salmon color and aromas of rose and strawberry. It's balanced and has flavours of strawberry with a light/medium body. Linear texture with a long finish - Slightly sweet nose. Serve chilled.

Aroma -Pear & melon, very pleasant and mild. Color - Coral or salmon in color, very clear, brilliant. Flavor - Drank moderately chilled, sweet -but really very lightly sweet, more pear & melon in the first sip, not tannic, very low astringency on the tongue, barely detectable alcohol in the after taste. Watermelon comes out in the mid section -nice! Overall -Very pleasant and enjoyable rose! Drank as a precursor to grilled chicken & asparagus. It was a very nice pre-dinner rose and still held up to the chicken & asparagus. Very enjoyable -we liked this wine a lot! We have drank a lot of rose's this spring and this is a really nice one!

Chateauneuf-Du-Pape domaine visits: Tasted at the domaine. Aromas of lilac, melon and mineral. Melon fruit on the palate, with hints of raspberry, mineral, white pepper and spice. Silky and bright, lingering finish. Very nicely done.

Nose is a bit closed, hint of greenness… sous-bois, red berries, tannins a bit present.
