Medium salmon rose. Ripe berries and orange zest show on the nose of this well-balanced, crisply textured wine. It’s dry with bracing acidity and good flavor density. Precisely what most people seek in a rosé."

Limpid orange-pink. Aromas and flavors of strawberry and tangerine, accompanied by subtle herbal and floral notes in the background. Supple and broad on the palate, delivering solid thrust. Warm red fruit notes cling to the finish. In an easygoing style and not lacking for heft. - Josh Raynolds"

Another Rosé that is a no brainer purchase in just about every vintage, the 2016 Reserve Rosé offers a refreshing, crisp style in its under ripe strawberry, citrus and hints of salty sea breeze. It has bright acidity, yet is balanced, clean and dry. Drink it over the coming summer months. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"Crushed stone, strawberry and melon notes mark the nose of the 2017 Réserve Grand Veneur Rose. It's a crisp, medium-bodied blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre that should be drunk up over the near term. - Joe Czerwinski"

"Pale and dusky pink in hue, this bright, zesty wine suggests crisp raspberry and cassis flavors accented with earth and bramble. Full bodied yet invigorating, it's a refreshing wine that's still drinking well almost a year after bottling. - ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"

"Unusually low in acidity, this rosé gave off a first impression of softness rather than the racy refreshment we tend to expect from this type of wine. But the second impression quickly took over, then the third and so on, as a fruit basket of flavors revealed itself. My palate seemed to be strolling through a Provençal hill town on market day, drinking in the sights, smells and savors of fresh strawberries, raspberries and wildflowers. ABV: 13 percent. - Dave McIntyre"
