"Deep orange-pink. Powerful aromas of ripe red berries, cherry, blood orange and nectarine, plus a hint of lavender emerging in the background. Palate-staining raspberry, bitter cherry and tangerine flavors develop a sweetening touch of honey. Chewy and expansive on the persistent finish, which repeats the pit fruit and floral notes. - Josh Raynolds"

"Tavel is an appellation in the Rhone Valley of southern France that was famous for its rosé wine long before rosé became a fad in this country. And despite the trendy preference for paler pinks, Tavel maintains its tradition of deeply colored rosé with enough heft to accompany heartier foods. This wine is not for casual sipping along the Cote d’Azur, or even on your patio. Have this with a seafood stew, grilled fish or barbecued pork. ABV: 14.5 percent. - Dave McIntyre"

"Light light siam color. Aromas and flavors of raspberry and black cherry with a round, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, nuanced, very long finish with touches of lime zest, pink peppercorns, and strawberry rhubarb relish with no oak flavor. A full flavored, full bodied, serious Rosé."

"One year older than most of the wines in this report, Ségriès's 2021 Tavel is still a nice deep ruby hue and still nicely floral on the nose, with hints of garrigue and violets accenting cherries and red berries. Full-bodied, round and expansive on the palate, it retains some zestiness as well, with notes of brine and citrus on the lingering finish. It's a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault and 10% each Clairette and Syrah. - Joe Czerwinski"

"Brilliant siam color. Attractive aromas and flavors of cherry-rhubarb tart and pomegranate chutney on raisin toast with a silky, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, elegant, very long finish imparting overtones of strawberry shortbread, candied orange, and hint of rye cracker with fine, fruit tannins and no oak flavor. A brilliant, juicy and toothsome rose that delivers pleasure at every opportunity; try in a spritzer too."

"Notes of fresh red fruits and indicates that this wine possibly went through carbonic maceration as it has aromas of strawberry & bubble gum. Full bodied rose ideal for barbecued dishes."
