France's first rosé appellation in 1815, this Rhone village's deep pink flows back to at least the 13th century. The darker color heralds deeper flavors and tannic structure. Dry and full-bodied with notes of cherry, white peach and almond leading into a river-rock minerality (Chateauneuf-du-Pape is less than ten miles away.) Well balanced, not overly acidic, and perfect with bouillabaisse, artichokes, or Carolina barbecue.

Strawberry, white peach, anise, bitter almond, wet stone. Big, almost unctuous, but balanced. Textbook Tavel, which is to say, killer.
