The color was light salmon. There was no bouquet. The wine was nicely balanced between fruit and acid. It was more interesting at room temperature than chilled. It improved under vacuum overnight. It was a typical rose -- easy to drink, slightly sweet, nice fruit.

At $8 the QPR on this older vintage is just killer, simple strawberry/red berry notes and great acidity for food makes this a go-to every night spring/summer sipper. Won't last much beyond this season so drink up.

Pink grapefruit and strawberry type fruit on a mineral core. Light, tasty, and refreshing as always. Alcohol is starting to poke out and has lost some of its freshness, but this is still holding together reasonably well

PnP chilled. Clear, light pink color. Soft, fresh nose. It was hot and I had a terrible thirst so it tasted great. Classic rose, refreshing, light, fruity. Delivered like it should. Nothing serious, just a decent summer pour. Nothing off.

Great QPR Provence Rose with notes of strawberry, melon and minerality lending to the dry crisp finish. Good for summer deck time AND a big plus the wife loved it so will look to buy some more :-)

Nose: Fresh watermelon aromas with faint mineral traces. Palate: Really good acidity with the very present watermelon qualities and a light to medium finish. Really well made and a screaming QPR at only $10/bottle. I have 3 left and will buy some more if it swings around again. Drank on the deck with the wife on a beautiful evening. Spring is finally here in MN!

Much more what I was looking for after the sancerre rose a few days ago. Nice nose with grapefruit/melon. Crisp acidity, a touch of mint..very refreshing.

This is an amazingly good Rose for the price. Enjoyed with a large group at a summer party. More than one person wanted the cell phone picture of the label.

Pale pink in color. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of strawberries, citrus notes & pears with overtones of floral & flinty notes, spices, minerals & a hint of grassiness. Light bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, crisp, ripe fruit flavors of strawberries, citrus & cranberries with spices & minerals. Lingering dry finish. Drinks quite well at present & is a good & reliable go-to Summer sipper; generally is a good QPR when found discounted.

Sepia-toned salmon, nearly clear at the edges. Notes of pear, grapefruit, honeysuckle with a hint of wisteria flower. Served very cold, and nice and dry on the palate. Whiff of cut grass, lovely.

Light rose, with more pleasant herbal/green flavors to keep this wine light and refreshing, as rose should be. It's a bit short, however, and generally lacking in fruit, so not as balanced as I had hoped.

Dusky rose and light salmon in color, very lightly hued. Notes include cut grass, lemon and grapefruit, and dried apricots. Smooth and clean on the palate. This is delicious!

Spicy and floral nose with roses. "Old World" style with more wet earth and mineral flavors than fruit. Solid acid and mineral backbone behind the fruit. Crisp fruity, red raspberry finish

Not bad for $10 at McCafferty’s in Princeton but not as fresh as the current, 2017 year wine. Drink now.

Pleasant rose from Provence for every day drinking. Light body with strawberry notes and good acidity. Tasted great with BBQ for Super Bowl.

Another solid Provencal rose with melon, herbs, hints of red berries and minerality. Not stellar, but very enjoyable.

Light and consistent in color: a blush of salmon. Notes of watermelon, honey, lavender. One of my favorite rosés.

Delicate aromas and flavors of tart strawberry and yuzu, with a faint malted note that adds lift. Perfect quaffer for a 100-degree day in the desert.

Light, pleasant, a rose for anyone, even someone who doesn't like wine. Chill and swill !!
Vague fruit notes. No alcohol noticable. Balanced.
