2008 Mas de la Dame Rose' Provence, France

[wondersofwine]

Warm weather called for this nice Provencal Rose' to accompany gnocchi and veal bolognese sauce and a platter of four cheeses (Maytag and Moody Blue, Chevre, and Red Spruce Cheddar from Wisconsin) at Taverna Corvino in Baltimore. I didn't catch the percentages, but grapes are Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. Soft, pleasant, dry with light berry flavors. orangey-pink or salmon color. Very nice. The restaurant manager said he got a good price because they want to move the 2008 wine to sell the 2009s.
Can be found for under $15 at some wine shops.
