Conch shell pink, Jean-Luc Colombo's Les Pins Couchés Rosé is a pretty blend of 67% Syrah and 33% Mourvedre sourced from Cape Bleue, a maritime-influenced site just outside Marseille. The 2016 delivers white peaches, raspberries, cherries, and line-dried linen, but what I'm most excited about what this wine does on the palate. The influence of calcarious soils dominates this blend—texturally, it's almost slippery in the mouth, reminiscent of slip casting with fine porcelain clay. Bright and buoyant, a perfect wine for summer. 13.0% ABV

Wonderful Rose, candied red fruits, oyster shell, lemon peel, full and clean.

It is a beautiful spring day outside drinking this light slightly chilled Rosé from near Marseille. Perfect for enjoying the simple pleasures of spring... a blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre refreshing fruit forward perfect for simple light dishes! Watermelon salad makes a perfect pairing. Love it... price is exceptional.

Really balanced, crisp, dry and flavorful... if that’s even possible

Oh my gosh, leave it to Julie to pick this... so aromatic--like May and June. Fresh picked strawberries and roses in bloom!
