Curious nose with a bit of age on it. Still showing very nice with an aromatic nose, palate of juicy red berries, watermelon, lavender notes and a lingering finish. Love Provence rose any time of year.

This is a bit light for me, but I find that so many of the rose's are getting too high in alcohol to be a true sipper. This was a pretty good value in Ontario. The bottom of the bottle comes up too fast, though.

Unscrewed and poured. Not typically the season for rose but tried to match it with a Moroccan dish, but it didn't work. Color is pale salmon. Nose shows green apples and strawberry and hints of white chocolate. On palate this is bright with acids keeping this on point and bright. Finish smooth and a bit chalky. I think my remaining bottles will hold til it's warm out again.

consistent tn's. My last one, I think it may have been the best of the bunch. Had the stuffing to stand up to a hearty pizza, yet remained lively and mouthwatering at all times. Strawberry, minerals, herbs and juicy acids combine to make this a most enjoyable offering. Recommended +, drink thru 2013, 13,5% abv, score: B+

consistent tn's. This is a solid B based solely on the juice, but when you consider the ~ $10 price-tag, it's a solid B+. Very fresh, lovely aromas. A welcome delicacy and minerality about it. Drink thru 2012, 13,5% abv

My fourth one out of a six pack I bought not even 2 months ago. For just 9.99, I get a modest little rosé filled with saline, crushed river rock, a dusting of freeze-dried strawberry, watermelon rind, and a dry mineral quality. Good chilled and as it warmed in the glass; very lively acids. Delicious, refreshing value good by itself or with light apps. 13,5% abv, drink thru 2011.

Enjoyed very much. Think of a 36 footer off the coast of Antibes, jumping in for a swim and emerging to a cold bottle of rose with fresh Mediterranean tomatoes, basil, maybe grilled gambas. Very nice wine - acceptable heat of alcohol, strawberries, medium finish - refreshing. Why don't I have this style of wine more often in the summer?

nice salmon color. explosive nose of watermelon, peaches, and apricots. good amount of minerality and drier than I would have expected based on the nose. overall, a nice summer rose for $11.

consistent with before x tonight i am getting watermelon jolly rancher (not a criticism) and grapefruit on the nose . on the palate, this seemed a bit fuller than previous bottles, with a fruit driven creaminess in perfect balance with the acids. this is the best bottle i have had so far. really can't say enough nice things about this one, esp for the money. outstanding.

mostly candied strawberry on nose. palate shows similar flavor profile with some creaminess evolving into med short bright fruit/acid finish. awesome in the heat and great tonight with a spicier pasta dish with italian sausage.

This was a well-balanced easy drinker. Notes of floral strawberry and Watermelon on the nose. This is something you would want to drink by the pool on a hot summer day.

Blind Night (Jock): Pale orange color. Smells of white cherries. Tastes of watermelon, cantaloupe, and cherry. Very well balanced. Crisp refreshing finish with no hard edges. Very nice. 13.5% alcohol.

I don't quite know what to think of this one. It had a very nice nose, consistent with previous notes- peach, apricot, and maybe some granny smith apple. Color was a beautiful light copper. Initial taste was innocuous enough, and typical for a nice rose, however, 4-5 seconds into each sip there was a definite funk, as well as some bubbliness. Part of it could've been incomplete fermentation, the other part i'm not so sure. I'm going to have to get another bottle and give it a try.

unscrewed and poured. color pale salmon. nose with bright strawberry and some candied tropical fruit notes. entry shows pure creamy fruit framed with brisk acid and nice weight and mouthfeel. nice smooth medium finish. a killer value at $12. this will be a go-to wine this spring/summer

Nicely fruity with hints of berries and melon but still pleasantly dry. Light pink color. Perfect for summer sipping.

Agreed with prior comments. These southern France rose wine are delightful on warm summer evenings with either light or hearty fare.

Best bottle so far. i think that it is really coming on and the acid is toning down to give a nice rather creamy fruity rose.
