Nonetheless, this is a nice rose, refreshing and well structured, nice cut to the acidity but lacking the depth of this more pricey competition. So stuck in a very uncomfortable situation between a cheap and cheery $6-10 rose and the stalwarts are $40-50. Not convinced anymore]]>

This should not be real, given how people make roses, but this is not a standard rose. Given time in oak, this drinks more like a white burg. The nose is elegant and the color is almost colourless for a rose. a hint of salmon really, but the texture is just oh so creamy, and the minerality will have you wondering what you are really drinking. If put against a nice white Burg, then this is not so crazily priced but as a rose, this is certainly a bit of a treat. Lovely though, I wish I could afford more but apparently this is the monaco yacht set's preferred drink.]]>

So one year into the experiment and I opened two of three bottles...so much for the experiment. (i still got one bottle each of the 2009 and 2010).

The wine is in great shape, still very fresh, texture I think has become a bit smoother, more lush perhaps, (less crisp), but overall, still tastes like a new release. Fresh strawberries, good structure, lovely sipper....two bottles went in now time...]]>

This should be chilled cold. Lovely strawberries, veyr light fresh, floral, jsut enough structure to hold the wine. Unfortunately not sub $12 but close. Under $20 and I'll buy a few more.

Varietal: Grenache Noir, Syrah
Region: Provence : Cotes de Provence]]>

It turned to be a very refreshing wine that goes good with food and could also work solo. It is not completely dry, but neither is it too sweet.

We matched it with Coho salmon steaks grilled over charcoal and pecan chips, napped with Hollandaise to which we had added some Fine Herbs; rice pilaf, and green peas. Excellent Friday night meal.]]>

I'm quite sure I've had this rose' from previous vintages at wine dinners at St. Jacques Restaurant. Salmon-pink color. Label suggests pairing with sushi, salads, pizza and mild cheeses. I had it with pocket pasta stuffed with veal served without a sauce. Flavors of slightly tart red berries along with a citrus influence. Stony minerality firms the texture. Dry wine with a rather lengthy finish. I prefer it slightly chilled as the label recommends. Would buy again.]]>

It was a lovely almost full bodied rose’. It was full of ripe red fruit with strawberries being prominent. Rich and seductive as it crossed the palate and it had a nice finish.

We matched it with candied ham loaf (made with ground leftover Virginia ham), and succotash. It all went down for a nice Tuesday night.]]>

Pale pink color. the palest rose' wine I've had this month. The Pinosity, however, comes through on this one. A touch tart, but attractively so. Strawberries on the nose and palate. I would like to try with a spinach, strawberry, and pecan salad which is a great summer salad. It would also be a good match to chicken or turkey--perhaps chicken salad or turkey sandwiches on a picnic or an al fresco lunch. It could also serve as an aperitif before dinner.
I liked it better than the Schug Pinot Noir Rose' and ordered two more bottles for later this summer. I didn't find it to be deep or serious but eminently quaffable (some cellar tracker notes do describe it as having some depth and complexity--maybe with an additional year--but I enjoy it now.)]]> Peter Weygandt Selection.

On the palate I find red berries and white peach flavors. Very pleasant. Enough acid to balance the fruit. Served blind, I doubt that I could distinguish it as from Rioja. In fact, most rose's would be hard for me to identify by region. This paired quite nicely with baked shrimp in an orange-ginger sauce and yellow rice. I went back to buy more for a church fundraiser since I wasn't able to get more of the Muga Rioja rose'.
I will try either the Tavel or the Reverdy Sancerre rose' next.]]> Coral-pink color; some transparency. On the palate I find red berries and white peach flavors. Very pleasant.
