Because when a friend comes over on a hot afternoon and asks to drink pink…. Bright cherries and plum skin with a mineral kick, Tavel delivers! There’s just something so right about an appellation devoted to rosé.

My wholesome follow up to the watching “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”. Tavel forever. I close my eyes and see red and saturated fuschia. That’s not a taste by go with me. If chalk wasn’t dry and cloves weren’t sharp those would be a fraction of what you get here. Another sip and it’s unsweetened watermelon candy. If that makes sense. This wine is like running through a sprinkler on a hot day while chugging an orange Julius. And the sprinkler is spraying raspberries. Don’t question me. Just drink.

Flat- not a ton of fruit or character. Traditional old world style but not much on the finish

Monthly wine group meet up. This month's theme was non-typical reds from Napa. Wines were tasted blind. Always a great time. 👌
This was just a little welcome wine courtesy of @Benjamin Keator . Probably the darkest rosé I've had based on color...ruby/magenta. Got a bunch of red gummy bear notes to this, especially on the finish! Nose was kiwi and melon...not a lot of citrus. Haven't had much of this style but the texture was excellent and most definitely a worthy rosé here in TX.

Tavel region produces my favourite rose wines. The depth and complexity for me is just amazing. Raspberries, strawberries, cranberry, kiwi and watermelon. Very smooth and balanced. Perfect for a hot day alone or with food.

Mar 3rd, 2019Really tasty rose, plenty of berries up front, some meaty fullness on the palate, refreshing but not bracingly acidic. On the full-bodied end, especially for a rose.

Really liked this. Dry, fruity, and floral. Light. A delightful drinking wine and lovely with cheese.
