  Unbelievably chuggable and delicious. Like a lot of Rosé, it doesn't have a lot of actual staying power for my palate, but it's true that this has more depth and breadth than most I've tried. The price reflects that of course, but I think it's really solid value overall, even with it being a good deal more pricey than the average provencal rose, etc. I like it better than the Tavel stuff I've tried so far, too- this has similar depth, but more energy. A ton of fresh, slightly candied strawberry and raspberry, some wild herbs, peony, and gentle saline tones. Acidity is very elegant, bristling with energy, never tart or puckery. I tasted two bottles over a few months and they were the same, so I'm just leaving this one note.

  Provence (Mexicantown): NOSE: reticent; watermelon rind; cocoa butter; potassium. MOUTH: quite a bit more definition than the orthonasal proffer reflects—large proportions; firmly dried with sensations of chalk and kiln grit; forthcoming drupaceous fruit; basil; white/yellow flowers; cucumber; and muddled strawberries. I can't remember a young vintage of Pradeaux Rosé that I liked better than this. 91-92.

  Wonderful zesty richly fruited yet balanced Rose. Darker red/rose in color. Lovely food wine.

  The only Rose I ever enjoyed. Full bodied, atypical and layered. Temperature is important with this wine, I like to drink it only slightly cooler than a red to get all the nuances, a full chill mutes this wine and will get only astringent notes.

  Quality rosé, a bit rich, round, full. Better closer to cellar temperature than fridge temp.
