  Retail $25. 25% Mourvèdre, 25% Grenache/Garnacha, 20% Cinsault, 15% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Tibouren, 5% Rolle. I saw this for fifteen bucks at the Kroger on Shepherd here in Houston during their bi-annual sale and I thought I would take a flyer despite the wine being a few years out. It has been my contention for years now that True Rosé, wines that are made *intentionally* (i.e., *not* saignées) can age just like white wines. Not many people would think twice about holding on to a white wine for a year or two past vintage, so why is the popular stance that rosé should be consumed immediately? I don't get it. Rant over. Having said all of that, this wine is fine, it is not going to be anyone's top rosé of the year, but there is good fruit, ample acidity, and an above-average finish. Not quite to the "Excellent" level, but still Very Good.

  This one calls itself "irrésistible". Pleasant, yes, but forgettable like a lot of rosé and quite highly priced at c.€17.
