"(50% grenache, 30% syrah and 20% cinsault): Vivid pink. Pungent aromas of cherry skin, blood orange and dried flowers show good clarity and a hint of anise. Chewy and broad on the palate, with tangy acidity framing the bitter cherry and citrus pith flavors. Finishes spicy and tight, with excellent cut and persistence. Punches far above its weight, but Mordoree consistently excels with its pink wines."

"In terms of style, this delicious rosé strikes a welcome middle ground. Its rich salmon-peach color signals ripe fruit flavors, while its good French-style acidity keeps the wine refreshing. - Dave McIntyre"
"Domaine de la Mordorée's 2014 rosés are fitting tributes to proprietor Christophe Delorme's final vintage (he died in June 2015). This blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Cinsault is weighty and rich, blending raspberries and white chocolate into a wine that could be served as a light red wine, with grilled meats or poultry. - Joe Czerwinski."
"A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Cinsault displays an attractive medium-pink color and aromas of dried cherries. It is elegant on the palate and beautifully balanced, with good acidity and freshness and a long finish. - Don Winkler"
"Clean, crisp and lively, with gorgeous watermelon, citrus blossom, rose petal and hints of minerality all emerging from the glass, the 2014 Cotes du Rhone Rose la Dame Rousse is more fresh and lively than the two Tavel releases, yet certainly doesn't lack for depth, length or flavor intensity. Medium-bodied, juicy, clean crisp, it's one of those few rosés that has the ability to instantly transport you to a seaside village, overlooking the Mediterranean, on a gorgeous summer day. Buy this rocking effort by the case and drink it over the coming year or two. It will be better in a few months and still be drinking beautifully next year as well. - Jeb Dunnuck"
"Another terrific Rosé, the 2015 Cotes du Rhone Rose la Dame Rousse is similar to the Tavel la Dame Rousse, yet is slightly more fresh and focused. Wild strawberries, citrus, mineral and underbrush all emerge from this layered, elegant, gorgeously balanced Rosé that has the freshness to stand on its own, yet the richness and complexity to go perfectly at the dinner table. Drink it over the coming year or so. - Jeb Dunnuck"
