  White peach and strawberry on the nose and palate, nice finish with some spice. Very enjoyable drinking wine.

  Simple, easy-drinking Rose at a reasonable price point.
  
  Nose of white peach, nectarine, watermelon and strawberry. Maybe some honey.
  
  Light on the palate with surprisingly present alcohol and modest acidity.
  
  Flavours of white peach, strawberry, stone, baking spice and herbal tea.
  
  Finish is where the acidity shows at it battles an interesting spicy note.

  PSA... NOT a TN
  This bottle bought at LCBO. Described by LCBO as Gassier Sables d'Azur Rosé 2019.
  However the word Gassier does not appear ANYWHERE on the bottle. Back label says it is bottled for Provence Selection a Puyloubier (where Ch Gassier is) by a numbered company. Ch Gassier web site has no reference to Sables d’Azur wine. So no idea what this is. LCBO web site says it is made by Advini which is an international holding company for many labels incl Ch Gassier. My guess is there have been some corporate sales purchases and this is an industrial coop wine of some sort trading on the old Gassier SBles brand.
  Will report what it tastes like in next week or two.
