Popped and poured. Crisp white fruit/melon aroma. Delicate cherry and melon flavors up front. Unusual bitter and sappy red fruit finish. Fresh, young, lithe, with a mutable and intriguing flavor profile. Great value.

definitely has a southern France character, a little more weight than many, but not overbearing. It is not overly candied as some of these are. I prefer a very dry rose and this one delivers. Enjoyable and a good expression of summer

Rosés (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): "...it comes from a blend of CINSAULT and GRENACHE or SYRAH and GRENACHE (Cuvée Spéciale de l'Aubigue)." [Trans from the winery's web site.]
N: Grapes SLIGHTLY atop minerals?
P: Med, poss MF, body; Almost swtish frt, acidity TRYING to balance; LONG, very slightly bitter, VERY slightly honied finish which lacks a bit in intensity. [This vendor's $13.95 is competitive.]
