 Tasted by Kermadur on 9/18/2016: I wasn't sure what to expect of this bottle and unfortunately don't remember where I got it. Opened on a warm end of summer day, Sunday brunch, which is a perfect way to drink this. The color is salmon, the body is light. First taste I tasted apple, but subsequent tastes not so much. It is light and enjoyable. Not much finish; it is almost like drinking a puff or cloud that disappears as soon as you get a little taste. Interestingly, a somewhat high alcohol for a French rose, 13%, and that comes through on the finish but not in a bad way. Drink it ice cold. (1138 views)
 Tasted by Richard123 on 9/27/2013 & rated 89 points: Nice easy-drinking rose. Soft raspberries and strawberries combine with a good level of acidity to make this perfect for sipping or with any kind of food. (2508 views)
 Tasted by ctbob on 9/7/2013: Solid, true to its type, enjoyable; drink now (2456 views)
 Tasted by anthonysanchez07 on 8/3/2013 & rated 89 points: We enjoyed this wine with some anise wafers, and perhaps that influenced the taste (in a wonderful way), but what a fantastic rose (especially at the price). You can taste the spice of the Cinsault -and when super chilled, it goes well with the dry finish. Lovely on a shaded balcony with the sun setting in the warm distance. (2548 views)
 Tasted by Mspiggy on 7/27/2013 & rated 85 points: Nice dry rose. Very pleasant. (2465 views)
 Tasted by vino_per_tutti on 6/30/2013 & rated 84 points: Pale salmon color. White roses, peach and nectarine on the nose. Citrus and wet stone on the palate. Sweet and thin with tart, slightly sour finish. Scores better on the nose than the palate or finish. Really like cinsault/grenache blends for summer rose´in general, but this one doesn't make the grade... (1815 views)
 Tasted by britnews on 6/19/2013 & rated 85 points: Pale salmon in the glass, stone fruit (nectarine) on the nose. Fruit a little shy on the palate, unremarkable acidity. Underdeveloped, too shy and retiring to recommend. (1054 views)
 Tasted by sunalsorises on 6/13/2013 & rated 86 points: Solid rose. Finish is a bit off but still fine. Ok for price. (518 views)
 Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 3/25/2013 & rated 90 points: Very light pink color; appealing, mandarin orange, floral nose; asty, mandarin orange slices, tart tangerine palate with good acidity; medium finish (50/50 Grenache/Cinsault) 90+ points (245 views)
