Bright pale salmon in color. Cherry Bazooka on the nose. Medium light-bodied palate of red cherry and dried strawberry (with no Bazooka). Medium plus acidity balances the overt fruit quite well. Classic Rosé d’A in all of its fruity goodness. A rare French wine that fits right in with American “sippin’ culture” while still a perfect compliment to spicy fare or soft cheeses. If you’re one of those folks who claims to “not like anything sweet,” get over yourself and stop lying. The epitome of fruity rosé is just waiting to help you get through summer 2020. Let it. Drink now.

This was a decent cheap option but I would go for a full Gamay Rose instead since can get in basically same price point.

Nice summer rose, not sweet. Has enough body, a fruity mouthful. Great wine for sipping on the deck

Fruit forward with strawberry and raspberry. Not a dry wine.

Soft pink hue. Aromas and flavors of cream, hay, raspberry, strawberry, stone, and watermelon. Captivating nose, with a soft, smooth mouthfeel and an elegant and well-balanced finish. Bonus points for QPR. A go-to, everyday Rosé.
