 Tasted by vrod on 7/25/2012 & rated 90 points: - Salmon color and aromas of grapefruit, raspberry and melon. It's balanced and has flavours of raspberry, grapefruit, cherry and melon. Juicy texture with a medium finish - Aromas and flavors of grapefruit, raspberry, melon, Rainer cherries and wet stones. Well-balanced, delicate, juicy. I have enjoyed the past two releases, 2010 and 2011. (5320 views)
 Tasted by merlot78 on 7/21/2012 & rated 89 points: A perfect Rose. Nice and dry with tons of fresh fruit notes such as strawberry, etc.
Very refreshing. (5252 views)
 Tasted by merlot78 on 7/13/2012 & rated 89 points: Nice pale color. Not too fruity and nice and dry. Love this wine. (4322 views)
 Tasted by pbaek on 6/22/2012: Very light in color, floral nose and pretty red fruit and pink grapefruit on the palate. Refreshing and easy to drink. Good summer wine. (1556 views)
 Tasted by tantotinto on 6/13/2012 & rated 90 points: Pale salmon. Rhubarb and strawberry nose. Strawberry, creamy texture and a sour cherry note on the finish. This is very light, clean, crisp and dry. We have just begun our annual summer rose sampling but have to say that this is definitely worthy of a repeat purchase. Excellent as an aperitif or patio sipper. (1490 views)
 Tasted by wineduggery on 6/9/2012 & rated 88 points: A beautiful saline minerality, but not enough fruit to create good balance. (1686 views)
 Tasted by Mills on 6/3/2012 & rated 90 points: Smell of apples, pears, and melon. Crisp taste with balanced acidity. Light and delicate. (1590 views)
 Tasted by jahlove on 5/27/2012: Continues to be a perennial favorite Rose of mine. I prefer a leaner, crisper style and some of the roses coming out of south of France lack the refreshment I'm seeking on a hot summer evening. But Peyrassol never fails to deliver a crisp but flavorful Rose. The 2011 is no exception showing beautiful peach notes on the nose with light red fruits, spice and zippy acidity on the palate. Perhaps it's the emphasis on Cinsault that makes this wine stand out from the rest. (1763 views)
 Tasted by ClubTerry on 5/23/2012 & rated 90 points: Very nice Rose. (1631 views)
 Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 5/18/2012 & rated 90 points: Brett's Birthday Rose Tasting (Weygandt Wines - Washington, D.C.): Very pale cherry color, almost clear. Melon rind and peach aromas, along with pepper and underbrush. Lots of pepper on the palalate, along with wild strawberry and lemons. Huge acid on this wine, which carries to the finish and leaves the palate refreshed. Very elegant. Grenache, cinsault and syrah. (2363 views)
 Tasted by manonthemoon on 5/17/2012 & rated 91 points: Rose Tasting; 5/17/2012-5/19/2012 (Weygandt Wines, DC): N strawberry, brush, melon rind, minerals
