Tavel Rosé Grenache

While the trend nowadays is for lighter bodied and colored roses, there’s nothing more satisfying than an intense, richly flavored and colored Tavel. Especially from a great producer. An extra kick of ripeness from the warm southern Rhône helps too.

Whoa nelly...if you like them sweet then this is for you!! WF

Big burly and ripe, hot dog wine

Fresh, floral, juicy strawberries and wet stone #tavel #glugglug #grenache #deedubcellar

Great rose. Abv scared me a bit at 13.5, but this wine delivers. Rose petal, raspberry, wild herbs, fennel bulb and med acidity. Really cool.

Fresh and juicy #Tavel #wine. Straight forward all around. Some high cherry syryp aroma. Round body and volume on the palate. Flavor is hollow. Watermelon and strawberry, quick. Opened 9/22/17

Delicious Rose, don't judge it by the kool-aid color (hee hee)

Lots of refreshing raspberry. Great Color.

Continuing with my exploration of rosé wines, is this charming not so pink from Château de Trinquevedel, a cranberry-hued blend of 56% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 10% Clairette, 4% Syrah, 4% Bourboulenc, 3% Mourvedre and 3% Brenache blanc. Enchanting aromas of linen and dried cherries lead into a wine that displays tons of rhubarb and spice, followed by Queen Anne’s Cherries, blood oranges, and watermelon rind with subtle earthiness and smoke on the finish. Always a favorite from Kermit Lynch. 13.5% ABV

Watermelon jolly rancher, flint stone vitamins, stony minerals and focused grapefruit pith on the finish.
