Fun right out of the gate. Mouth-cleansing notes of red berries, navel oranges, and just a tinge of minerals. Very good with nice energy on the finish.

70% Syrah & 30% Grenache grown in an accumulation of rounded pebbles; "Made by draining off the vat. Its color is obtained through a short maceration of between 4 & 12 hrs. Fermentation takes place in s/s tanks with the temperature controlled at 64°F." 50,000 cases imported.
P: Med body; Very RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) offset by an acidity which almost discretely drives the bus into & through the LONG, balanced finish with an enticing tangy/swtness (45:55). For now & into '21. A versatile style probably SLIGHTLY better as a quaff, but should also be able to work with lighter fare. 13% ABV; My EXC- (& that's without taking into consideration its *impressive* QPR). 90 pts Vinous (Reynolds, 8/1/19), 88 + a "Best Buy" from WE (Iijima, 9/1/19) @ $11, 87 WS (9/30/19), & Dan Berger's "Rosé Value of the Year (to date)" [7/23/19]. [This vendor's $9.95 is NOW in the TOP 1/2 of wine-searcher's dwindling field.]
Note: Also tasted on 4/20, 6/1, 6/22, 7/27, & 11/30/19.

The stone fruit is a bit sour on the front. Rounds somewhat to berry on the back of the palate. Better when enjoyed with a salad.

A great little sipper, not super complicated, but gets the job done nicely.
Buy drink repeat!

Very berry with a bit of candied citrus peel. Very bright and enjoyable, certainly a good value (and flexible) summer wine.
