 Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 3/27/2022 & rated 88 points: Retail $25. Cinsault, Grenache. Under screw cap. I saw this on the shelf at the local H-E-B (I love my H-E-B) and decided to take a bit of a flyer. Classic pale pink, the really pale pink associated with the region. Loaded with tropical fruit as well as mango, a bit of minerality and salinity on the nose. More than ample fruit on the palate which causes it to come off as a tiny bit sweet. I also find it lacking in tartness, which I find crucial for the genre. Look, it is a fine rosé and I doubt that many would think twice about it, but I drink a ton of pink and this is just a bit flabby.

 Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 9/9/2021 & rated 89 points: Pale copper color. Alive and airy on the nose with red apple peel, wild raspberry and lemon, topped in basil, honeysuckle and chalk dust. Crisp and punchy on the palate with some interesting textural depth, and plenty of red apple peel, sour cherry and watermelon rind flavors. White flowers, some freshly-sliced cucumbers. This is brisk, balanced, floral and fun, well done stuff. Half Cinsault and Grenache. (893 views)

Syrah

Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)

Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent.
