A bargain in 2014 Rosés. Described by #kermitlynch as a 'fruitbomb,' nevertheless it is a well-balanced, delightfully fresh easy drinker, with a dry yet non-astringent lingering finish. In our blind tasting of 8 Rosés in the $20 and under group, our 10 tasters concurred that this was a close second if not tied for first.

Light, subtle strawberry and refreshing citrus. Great aperitif rose.

Faint salmon hue, with a cherry-lime flavored sparkling water and white rose petal nose. Palate is dominated by tart, almost sour, cherries. Minerality is low, acidity is medium plus, & finishes a bit sharp. Considering Corbieres, and above average tannin for a rose, I am assuming it is comprised of Carignan, Grenache, and possibly Mourvèdre. Best with food, of course.

Drank it in 20 min, so it must have been good! 🙃

Just what the doctor ordered. Crisp, bright, berry and crushed stone.

A like sweet for me with an almost candy cane nose. Not a lot of grip.
