 Tasted by Decanthor on 11/25/2016 & rated 90 points: This is really good. Light salmon color. Floral and light fruit nose. Med-full bodied, good weight in the mouth. Notes of raspberry, watermelon, strawberry, and the white gummy bear! Some minerality. Perfect for food, especially ham. (1995 views)
 Tasted by Angle Gold on 9/28/2016 & rated 88 points: Strawberry, cherry, some acidity. (1921 views)
 Tasted by Jake112380 on 7/1/2016 & rated 87 points: This bottle came with a bit more fruit flavor than the last one. Same watermelon rind aroma on the nose, this time accompanied by a bit of unripe strawberry. Good punch of acid up front with restrained raspberry and strawberry flavors. Again, it was pleasant to drink. Paired well with bbq'd chicken and salad. (2036 views)
 Tasted by Yach on 6/6/2016 & rated 82 points: Strawberry, melon, green apple and limestone on the nose; similar flavors on the palate with red cherries, and lime zest with a mineral finish. Nice rosé, nothing too special. Paired with grilled pork chops and veggies. (2119 views)
 Tasted by Cholera on 5/27/2016 & rated 88 points: Would drink again. Rose with spicier foods is a good combo (2137 views)
 Tasted by Jake112380 on 4/8/2016 & rated 87 points: Hints of watermelon rind on the nose lead into restrained red berry and watermelon flavors. Mild and pleasant, easy to drink, but it doesn't rock my world. (740 views)
 Tasted by timdrex on 3/21/2016 & rated 88 points: Notes of strawberry, cherry, melon, with a little minerality. Great QPR. (827 views)
 Tasted by IPT on 2/26/2016 & rated 84 points: Color: pale cherry color.
Nose: strawberries, peach and green apple.
Flavor: A bit of the traditional dry strawberry on the front, then a pervasive flavor of lemon and apple citrus hits and remains to the finish which is a bit astringent.

I like this label, but this wine didn't impress me as much as I was expecting. A shame. Would suggest Cotes de Provence. (706 views)
 Tasted by garambler on 1/15/2016 & rated 88 points: This had a mild and subtle bouquet of watermelon, strawberry, cherry and mineral aromas. The palate was also mild, round and subtle with flavors of watermelon, strawberry, cherry and chalky minerals. (713 views)
 Tasted by Marius Cavasdan on 11/19/2015 & rated 86 points: Couleur est plus foncée que les roses de Provence. Au nez il est frais, avec des fraises et pamplemousse rose. Il est frais aussi sur le palais. Des notes d'agrumes, de pamplemousse. Je l'ai servi avec de la viande blanche. (414 views)
 Tasted by Yiannis on 10/15/2015 & rated 89 points: Pale yellow. Rose petals, strawberry and cherry on the nose. Med-bodied with freshness, purity of fruit and balance. Med+ bodied. A Province-style rose' at a bargain price. (1093 views)
 Tasted by Ed Manville on 9/19/2015 & rated 89 points: Enjoyable light wine that went well with cheese
spread and crackers. (788 views)
 Tasted by mrhemann on 9/1/2015 & rated 90 points: Very refreshing with some strawberry flavors (797 views)
 Tasted by Pirategyrl on 8/23/2015 & rated 86 points: Good drinking rose, middle weight, dry and crisp. Had with Mother, Aunt Dot and Norm, along with roasted chicken and fresh garden veggies. A nice pairing all around. (951 views)
 Tasted by gripNsip on 8/19/2015: I was in need of a bottle of Rose on vacation in a small city and found this at a local supermarket. Knowing the producer makes some pretty damn good wine I figured their bottom-shelf wines probably won't be terrible. It wasn't terrible! It wasn't that great either. It's a perfectly palatable Rose with easy texture and acid, and a lean body. Doesn't finish long. Goes well with pizza. At this price point it gets job done. (1171 views)
 Tasted by Jvlorenzen on 7/9/2015 & rated 91 points: Half bottle with salads (836 views)
 Tasted by tantotinto on 4/27/2015 & rated 87 points: Very tart. Strawberry and melon. Lean texture. Decent but would expect to find better this season. (1005 views)
