2001 L'Espiegle Rose' (Tavel) Rhone, France

[wondersofwine]

from Paul Jaboulet-Aine'
Imported or distributed by Frederick Wildman, NYC.
Cost to me about $15-16 before taxes
13% alcohol
I bought two bottles of this after tasting it at a Jaboulet wine dinner in Raleigh. Thought it would make a nice summer drink.
Salmon or "eye of the partridge" color.
While sometimes described as having strawberry flavors, I found it more evocative of pomegranate, cranberry and pink grapefruit. It was better chilled than at room temperature. With its light to medium body, it makes an attractive summer drink.
