Fruity and light. Great on a hot summer day.

To me, many Provence Rosés are incredibly similar, so it can be hard to pay 22 for this when there bottles just as good at half the cost. That said, this is delicious and super reliable. Never a bad call.

Light bright pink. Aromas of fresh red fruit, orange zest and pungent flowers, along with a hint of white pepper. Dry and focused on the palate, offering refreshingly bitter blood orange and red currant flavors that unfold slowly on the back half. Closes taut and dry, showing good focus and red-berry-tinged persistence. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, June 2017)

Despite the dumb name, this was a perfect afternoon sipper. Fresh, light and crisp. This pale pink wine is dry, has subtle berry flavors and is a touch tart.

When it's 90 degrees in San Diego, really chilled, crisp, and dry Rose is the answer. Especially on a Friday afternoon. This Cote de Provence is very nice. Trending towards dry Riesling, just the way I like it. Nice minerals. Rating confirmed at NCWC for their top 10 '17. WS 90 Pts as well.
