Retail $21. 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 5% Cinsault, 5% Mourvèdre. I am not entirely sure how I acquired this wine, but I am pretty sure that it was a gift from the export manager a couple of years ago. A medium bubble gum pink, with lovely aromas of raspberry and hibiscus. The palate, even three years (nearly) beyond harvest is quite fruity, but also full: plenty of heft and richness. This is a wine lover's rosé with multiple levels of flavor, great acidity, and even some tannin on the finish. Close to a Whoa. thedrunkencyclist.com

P: Med body; RNDISH entry with nice frt met by a bitterish astringency which carries into & through the LONG, predominantly bitter finish with ULT notes of raisins. IMHO *way* TOO much bitterness to be overcome by aging. NOT rated. [I didn't see other sources with which to compare this vendor's $11.95.]
