Blood orange and melon and garrigue. A year in cellar has buffed some of the bright edges and revealed a little more weight. Perfect with roast chicken on a sunny summer patio.

50/50 Cinsault/Mourvèdre. This is a dry and very rich, full-bodied rose and leaves a satisfying, memorable finish. Not inexpensive but worth every penny.

Dark, rich garnet in color. That "noble rot" sauterne smell with lots of savory aromas. Dark fruit and lots of herbs on the palate, with lots of tannins that were pretty smooth and only mildly grippy (after 2.5 hours decanting!). Taking a bottle home to lay down for 6-7 you years, as suggested by sommelier Michael Kwas. Wonderfully paired with lamb ribeye, ratatouille, new potatoes, braised lamb belly, herbs de provence, red wine jus; softened the tannins and brought out the herbs in the wine.

Disappointing. Cellared for a year but flavors hadn’t come together yet and it had a bit of a funk. Needed lots of air in a way rose probably shouldn’t.
