Thought the wine wis really quite good for the money. By no means was this a hugely complex wine, but it was well balanced and had some charm. Good fruit, minerality and acidity. Would buy again.

An equal blend of Syrah and Carignan from a clay-chalk plateau near the Étang de Thau, 100% destemmed, direct press, 12% ABV, 160,000 bottles produced. Pale salmon colour; interesting nose with a subtle fruit expression (redcurrant, strawberry, hint of melon), fresh and mineral, hints of pepper and flowers and a certain salinity; the palate is dry and fresh, with an adequate stuffing of juicy fruit, light but pleasant flavours; herbal finish, good length. Excellent QPR.

For the price, this pleasing rose is impossible to beat. Every year I wonder why I didn't buy at least half a case to drink all summer. A fine pairing with grilled salmon.

Very pale salmon in color, this wine showed watermelon, strawberry, cranberry and fresh herbs on the nose. The mouth feel is medium bodied with supple strawberry and hints of honey dew melon. The finish was medium in length with additional notes of watermelon, minerals, strawberry and bright acidity. 12% abv.
Purchased for $8.50US, this rose' wine is an excellent value. It delivers on both taste and price.

Though a little bit less structured than last vintage, it seems to have maintained a decent balance in a vintage in which many producers couldn't. I drink a lot of rose and taste as many as I can at the start of the season. This is the best 2015 rose I have tasted and the price point makes it a bargain.

A reasonably good wine. Not memorable but fairly good quality for $10. 40% Grenache blanc; 30% Sauvignon blanc; and 30% Terret. Not sure of Terret is a Rhone blend or what. But I like trying different combinations of varietals. Made from 25 to 50 year old vines in stony soil in small hillside viñards. Will probably buy 2016 vintage next year, if for same price.

For my taste this vintage comes up way short in the acidity department: so much so that I perceived it as sweetish. It was a hot year; perhaps that explains it.

Enjoyable. Quite a bit of texture and depth for a fun easy (and relatively cheap) rosé.

50% Syrah, 50% Carignane. Elegant aromas. Light salmon color. White floral and mineral aromas. Very elegant, subtle and charming palate.
