Nice little rose from Languedoc, enjoyed last night with Kim at Bistro 127 in Hickory NC as the wine with the first salad course for a multi-course casoulet dinner. Pleasant, slightly fizzy, bright nose of cherry and flowers, flavors actually somewhat heavier then nose suggested, mango and apricot present. A very decent and inexpensive entry level rose, a reasonable QPR at this price point.

guava aromas, nice body full of strawberry flavor, good balance between creaminess and dryness, with mineral on the finish, this is a great rose value, one to stock up on for the summer, safe match with chicken salad

Bright, fresh strawberries on the nose with a hint of some sort of tropical fruit (mango?). Some strawberry and a lot of watermelon jolly-rancher. A creamy texture on the mid-palette. Finishes much more dry with a sour puckering note. Still showing pretty well despite being last years vintage. Not super complex, but very drinkable if the candy sweet fruit on the front mixed with the sour pucker on the back isn't a turn off.

Some Underwhelming Languedocs (San Francisco Wine Trading Company): Light rose colored. Odd nose, not pleasant. Some strawberry fruit but stern, dry, and tannic.

A nice rose. Not as complex as I hoped, but a nice wine with the BBQ.
