  Well, here is our summer rose! This is the essence of the quaffable rose of southern France, meant to be drunk cold and liberally in the afternoon and early evening heat. This one fits the bill perfectly: very dry, very crisp, with an enjoyable nose of fruit and, in this case, a somewhat darker undertone in the taste that reminded me of a Tempier Bandol rose, all ending up with a very satisfactory finish of about 10 seconds or so. Another CellarTracker found this wine a bit lacking in crisp acidity, but we were very happy with it. And at $8.50, well, we bought a case. May have to get more!

  $9 at Wine Steward, imported by Kermit Lynch. I'll come right out and say it: This wine smells great! Mango, watermelon, the aroma is just beguiling. Sadly, the promise of ultimate crispness doesn't follow through, and in the mouth this is smooth and reasonably flavorful, but with no lip-smacking acidity. Damn 2003 vintage... Good+.
