Deep purple / garnet in color and definitely a spicy nose with baking spices and some savory spices (black pepper, cardamom) being the primary bouquet notes wirh little fruit to be found. The palate is a bit more fruit forward but darker fruit than some Pinots, more fig or plum and blueberry than strawberry or cherry. Some oaky character on the finish, cedar and vanilla. Good acidity to keep you coming back for more. Overall a very well balanced, very food friendly pinot, if just a bit thin in total.

Great example of a crisp Provençal rose with perhaps a bit more red fruit up front in the palate than usual. Lovely chilled on a warm early summer afternoon!
