Tavel Rosé Grenache

Last I reviewed Trinquevedel I think I recommended marrying it. And...yeah I’d miss the promiscuous supple rosados, the devious Bandols, and geez, I may ask Trinq if we could watch Txakolina porn together from time to time but this is my favorite rosé. That I’d marry. It has this depth that hugs you but at the same time leavens you like the happy loaf you (me? I’ve been eating a lot this season) you are.
From the first look at that coral pink to the long seductive I’ve-got-more-to-tell-you-if-you-let-me-open-up finish, this wine is a keeper.

A very good example of #tavel #rose from #france

Really amazing fruit that travels between Fresh berry fruit and watermelon but creamy at the same time

And I shall continue to sing Trinquvedel’s praises. Zingier than the last vintage or so but still with that underlying richness and pavement of smooth river-washed stone. My gosh, Tavel. You should marry Trinquevedel.

Southern Rhône rosé , Tavel is the only appellation in France that is dedicated to only making #rosé Southern Rhône grapes, mostly Grenache 45%, 24% Cinsault, 15% Clairette, 10% Mourvèdre, 6% Syrah, cherry, herbs, juniper, “steak rosé ”

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

Strawberries, mineral, acid...perfect with our lunch with spicy shrimp and guacamole...

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