TASTING NOTE: I've had producers and agents roll their eyes when Vintages schedules the release of their rosés for the middle of winter - because, of course, rosé sales are hottest when the weather is, too. But I'm all for buying and drinking rosé all year round, and it's especially flavourful in the dead of winter, when it's a sort of challenge to the weather and a reminder that summer is a mere five months away. And flavour this wine has, despite its pale pink colour. It doesn't plumb the partridge-eye pallor of many Provençal rosés, but it's close. The flavours are focused and decently complex, the acid is bright and clean, and it's ready to drink as soon as you get it home. Drink it during winter, spring, summer, and fall. Score - 4 Stars (out of 5) (Rod Phillips, Winepointer Newsletter, Nov. 2016) |
