Rosé wine dinner at The Wheatleigh in Lenox, MA. This was excellent. Dry, crisp and refreshing. Strawberries, cherries, some citrus.

Best rose I have had in a while. Beautiful aromas of wild strawberries, great structure and even a little grip. Not your usual pale, bland Provençal rose.

Prettiest little Sancerre rosé. Riffault consistently knocks it out of the park. 2014 vintage.

Very pale in color this year, but offers blue and red fruit on the nose. Still very lean and acidic, with some softness in the mid-palat. Very nice little rose from Pinot.

Nose: lovely strawberry and minerals. Floral. Great.

Palate: perfect early season strawberries. Crunchy minerals. Delicious. Terrific.
