Continuing with my exploration of rosé wines, is this charming not so pink from Château de Trinquevedel, a cranberry-hued blend of 56% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 10% Clairette, 4% Syrah, 4% Bourboulenc, 3% Mourvedre and 3% Brenache blanc. Enchanting aromas of linen and dried cherries lead into a wine that displays tons of rhubarb and spice, followed by Queen Anne’s Cherries, blood oranges, and watermelon rind with subtle earthiness and smoke on the finish. Always a favorite from Kermit Lynch. 13.5% ABV

Nose: Slightly earthy with fresh roses and watermelon. Just lovely. Palate: Fresh cherry and watermelon flavors balanced by appropriate acid levels and finishes with a nice, slate minerality. What a great wine for a perfect spring day in MN.

I certainly don't see myself as a rose lover but this is one the best I've ever had. Beautiful pomegranate color with terrific strawberry, pomegranate and melon flavors. One of the more complex roses I've ever had that really hits the perfect balance of sweet vs. tart. 13.5% AlC Paid $21 and worth every penny. Especially, considering all the dud roses I've tried over time. Kermit Lynch import and it shows.

Appealing bouquet, first fresh, fruity, floral, then earthy and meaty. Medium plus acid, bracing, complex. The mouth-watering finish does not quit.
