Jen’s Notes

This wine is a blend of Cinsault (50%), Grenache (40%) and Syrah (10%). It exhibits a bright, rosy pink color and scents of strawberry jam. Like the nose, the palate is packed with ripe, juicy strawberry flavors. Though concentrated and nearly sweet, it is never cloying. Herbal/floral notes round out the palate. The wine finishes dry and clean with hints of mineral and bright citrus.

This is the best rosé I have ever had – an incredible bargain to be enjoyed with food or on its own. Though rosés are traditionally summer wines, this one is substantial enough to pair with your first few meals of Autumn.
