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.

Lovely rose, fresh & lively but short, good to quench on a hot day!
