Palette Grand Cru de Provence Grenache Rosé Blend

Wow.

It’s dumb if you don’t drink this

Serious rose, complex and long

Wow! What a nose. Funky, stinky, but somehow very fresh and pleasant too. Contradictory, divergent flavors converging. Only had a small taste, but I feel I could spend some serious time contemplating this wine, allowing it to unravel on my taste buds.

Really interesting wine. Drinks more like a red wine than a rose to me. With time it opened up into something really nice, but this is not a sit by the poolside crisp refreshing rose. A lot more structure and weight to this guy.

I tend to love the weird wines made from masters. Think Paolo Bea Arboreous or Joly Coulee de Serrant or LDH Rose.

Everything about this is artificially flavored candy. It looks like cherry lollipop and smells like red Kool-Aid and Robitusson. Tastes like watermelon Jolly Rancher.

Powerful and viscous as hell, even hot. I know these can age forever and I’d love to see an older bottle. Tons of fun.

First time drinking a Simone rosè and hard to wrap my head around it considering it drinks like a red. Spicy red berries, some bitterness and bountiful acidity. Needs food, even meat I was told...so I paired it with BBQ ribs which worked well. Not a quaffer for a hot August day!

Definitely a rosé to be paired with food, robust and complex. Rich dark pink color, funky nose, darker fruit and brioche.
