"A superb Tavel, the 2013 Tavel Le Cretace Rose gives up vibrant wild strawberry, watermelon, crushed flowers and hints of spice to go with a medium-bodied, layered and seamless profile on the palate. A classic rose from this appellation, enjoy this beauty with food over the coming year or two. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"The Le Cretace offers rich strawberry and red cherry flavors with a hint of minerals. It is beautifully balanced and tart on the mid-palate with good acidity, freshness and a long finish. - Don Winkler"

"Made from 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre, the 2014 Tavel le Cretace Rose is a beautiful Tavel that offers lots of strawberry and raspberry fruits, flowers and rose petal notes to go with a layered, rounded and textured style on the palate. This is a classic Tavel that will drink nicely for 1-2 years. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"In its weight and richness allied to scents of garrigue and sun-warmed stones, this speaks of its Tavel terroir. The berry fruit is subdued, with spice, weight and warmth carrying the wine to a long finish."

"From one of my favorite producers in Chateauneuf du Pape, the 2015 Tavel Le Cretace (60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre) is a rock-solid Tavel that reveals textbook notes of strawberries, garrigue and ripe black cherries. Medium-bodied, nicely textured, and always fresh and lively, it's a food-friendly effort to enjoy over the coming year. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"I loved the 2016 Tavel Le Crétacé, and this Grenache dominated beauty offers a big, ripe, even a touch reductive nose of black cherries, mineral water and wild strawberries. Elegant, yet rich and textured, it’s a terrific Rosé well worth drinking over the coming year or so. - Jeb Dunnuck"
