Very charming pale rose color. The wine displays lots of fresh fruit aromas such as strawberry and watermelon. The palate is focused and very well balanced with again some strawberry and ripe red fruit notes. The finish is quite pleasing and long with a little spiciness and freshness to it.
This is a perfect patio wine to be enjoyed on its own at the aperitif or with lighter dishes, such as salads, roasted vegetables and hamburgers. Delicious if consumed during the first year of its life.
"A 70-30 blend of Grenache and Syrah, the 2017 Cotes du Rhone Rose is a bright flamingo in color. Hints of crushed stone and lime mark the nose, while the plump, medium-bodied palate shows more peach and cherry notes. It's a solid value in a hot category. - Joe Czerwinski"

"Made from close to equal amounts Syrah and Grenache, the 2017 Côtes du Rhône Rosé offers charming notes of strawberries, orange blossom, and spice. Medium-bodied, juicy and elegant on the palate, it strikes a good balance between richness and freshness and is a good effort."
- Jeb Dunnuck (March 2019), 87 pts
"Pale orange. Strawberry, candied orange and a suggestion of honeysuckle on the fragrant nose. Juicy red fruit flavors show good depth and focus and no rough edges. A spicy nuance appears on the finish, which hangs on with good fruity persistence."

"This 50-50 blend of Grenache and Syrah has yielded a medium-bodied, pale coppery rosé. It's dry and refreshing, hinting at red currants, pink grapefruit and melon. Drink now."
