jeb dunnuck logo 250"The 2017 Sainte Victoire Côtes de Provence Rosé is a rock star of a rosé and comes from one of the top appellations in Provence, Sainte Victoire. A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and the rest Cinsault, it has a beautiful array of orange blossom and crushed citrus, with a distinct salty minerality that develops with time in the glass. Medium-bodied, with high yet integrated acidity, it has a great texture as well as ample length on the finish. It can stand on its own on a summer day but will also shine on the dinner table."

vinous logo"Light peach skin. High-pitched orange zest, strawberry and floral scents reveal a deeper nectarine quality in the background. Silky and dry on the palate, offering lively red berry and citrus fruit flavors sweetened by a subtle touch of honey. Clings nicely on the finish, leaving a refreshingly bitter orange pith note behind."

wine enthusiast 90 pts"With bright fruit and intense acidity, this is a crisp, perfumed rosé. Clean, fresh lines of red and citrus fruits are cut by the tight, mineral texture. It is both delicious wine and refreshing. - Roger Voss"

wa88"A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Cinsault, the light pink/raspberry colored 2014 Cotes de Provence Rose is a beautiful, fresh and lively rosé that gives up lots of wild strawberry and peach notes in its lightly textured, balanced and refreshing style. About as chuggable as they come, yet with solid balance and a dry, clean finish, it's a solid effort to enjoy on a hot summer day. - Jeb Dunnuck"

tanzer iwc 89 pts"(50% grenache, 30% syrah and 20% cinsault): Light orange-pink. Fresh pit fruits and red berries on the fragrant nose and palate. Juicy and seamless in the mouth, showing good heft and a subtle floral nuance that comes on late. Finishes with good breadth and fruity persistence, leaving a note of nectarine behind."
